Dayton Innovation Legacy reveals the stories and strategies of Dayton Innovators through multimedia.

April 18, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby 1 Comment

An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots. – Charles F. Kettering

Too many stories of unsung Dayton innovators are forgotten. Let’s bring to light our city’s technical heritage for the next generation—just when Dayton most needs to reinvent itself!

Dayton Innovation Legacy.org is a new website that uses oral history, video and other media to tell the stories of Dayton innovators, especially those less well known. This educational resource will feature local engineers, scientists, educators, aviators, mathematicians and medical professionals.

By bringing Dayton’s Innovation Legacy to light, the web site will help educate, recruit new members, and assist Dayton development. The website is sponsored by the Engineers Club of Dayton Foundation.

Dayton Innovation Legacy features separate multimedia web pages for each chosen innovator. Living subjects will be interviewed on video following best practices in Oral History. Original materials will also be archived for future researchers.

The first profiles are now online. Other features include historical films of the Wright brothers, Charles Kettering and Edward Deeds, archived biographies from the Engineers Club of Dayton and much more.  If you’d like to help fund future biographies, consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the “Engineers Club of Dayton Foundation – Legacy”.

About Lisa Grigsby

Lisa Grigsby is a Special Events Director with over thirty years experience in promotions, event coordination and public relations.

Owning Jokers Comedy Cafe for 20 years taught Lisa to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. She credits Leadership Dayton for exposing her to the amazing assets of the region and Clothes That Work for being her reason she stayed in Dayton. Her proudest accomplishment as a past president of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association was creating Restaurant Week, a twice a year tradition that continues to grow and benefit local charities as well. As a foodie, it's only natural that she continues to promote local restaurateurs with DaytonDining.

As a Dayton Catalyst, her desire to have ONE community calendar and advocate for the amazing assets of the region helped create the vision for the relaunch of DaytonMostMetro.
