The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce have named two long-time community volunteers to the top leadership positions for the 2019 festivities that will celebrate the annual enshrinement of new classes into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Doug Froelich is serving as General Chairman, with support and assistance from Todd Stover, General Vice Chairman.

 

Froelich and Stover are leading a combined corps of volunteers to help provide a world-class experience to the hundreds of thousands of fans who will descend upon Canton for the 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival, including Enshrinement Week Powered by Johnson Controls.

 

Froelich graduated from North Canton Hoover High School, Kent State University, and Ashland University. He is a teacher, National Honor Society adviser and senior class adviser at Green High School, and previously served on the Green Local School District Leadership Team and as Language Arts Department chairperson.

 

A 28-year Enshrinement Festival volunteer, Froelich has served on the Hall of Fame  Hospitality and Enshrinement Committees and the 50^th Anniversary Committee. He has also chaired the Balloon Classic Committee and twice chaired the Security and Logistics Committee. Froelich’s extensive volunteer efforts have been guided by his definition of volunteerism, “Giving of your time, talents, and resources, without expectation of reward.”

 

Stover, a Canton Central Catholic and Kent State graduate, is the Manager of Program Delivery & Controls at FirstEnergy. This will be his 40^th year of volunteer service to the Enshrinement Festival, including 39 years on the Hall of Fame Security Committee, and 11 years as chairman. He is a past-president and chairman of the Jackson-Belden Jaycees, past chairman of Parish Council of Saints Philip & James Church, and is a member of the Edison Men’s Club, Knights of Columbus #11037, and North Canton Eagles Aerie 2223.  Todd and his wife Shelly reside in Canal Fulton and are the proud parents of Kyle & Lauren.

 

Froelich and Stover have been working closely with the staffs at the Hall of Fame and Chamber of Commerce to provide training and resources to enhance an already solid foundation of dedicated community volunteers. These volunteers will be energized and ready to provide all the support necessary to successfully host other large events, such as the NFL Draft and Centennial Celebration, that could be coming to Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village.
