Meet Hunt from the Leadership Coshocton County Class of 2022
Alicia Hunt grew up in the Fresno area between State Route 93 and County Road 93 and attended the Ridgewood Local School District. A 2000 graduate, Hunt took special projects in 4-H and was a member of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, a national service organization.
Her first job after graduation was at Precious Treasures daycare where she worked for two years. She then worked in customer service for JII/ Shaw Barton until its closure; 5-B’s in Zanesville; Robert’s Medical Uniforms & Embroidery in New Philadelphia and Classic Auto Supply Company (CASCO) before transitioning to the Endsley Insurance Agency, where she worked as a licensed agent for five years. Realizing her heart was in customer service, she returned to CASCO in October 2020.
In her position at CASCO, Hunt does “a little bit of everything.” She answers the phone; takes customer orders over the phone and online; checks orders for accuracy prior to shipping and invoices customers. As stated by her employer Jim Brown, she is “the first point of contact for customer service; go-to person on payments and keeps the paper work straight; ready to go and ensures accuracy. And she is the head birthday cupcake maker.”
Classic Auto Supply Company in Coshocton is a hidden gem located above Roscoe Village on High Street. They exist solely to meet the needs of the 1955-1957 Classic T-Bird collector; manufacturing hard-to-find parts as well as providing parts for these collectible cars. They also restore a limited number of classic T-Birds, as well as provide machining services and powder coating to local businesses and individuals.
Hunt is a member of the West Lafayette Chamber of Commerce as well as a devoted blood donor, and volunteer for the Ohio State University Extension Real Money. Real World Spending Simulation.
Betsy Brown, a 1997 graduate of Leadership Coshocton, and co-owner of CASCO, encouraged Hunt to participate in Leadership Coshocton, as it “would be good for her to participate; push her out of her comfort zone.” Even though she was raised in Coshocton, Hunt wants to “learn more about the county and volunteer opportunities.”
“Community” to Hunt, means “West Lafayette and Fresno,” where she was raised and resides. She states, “It is a close-knit community where everyone is willing to help each other.” During the program day on education, Hunt recognized how “close” her community was, following conversations about levies in other school districts. She thinks it is this “closeness” that provides strong support for the local school district.
To make the county stronger, Hunt would like to see “more business opportunity, but also people who are willing to work and eligible to work.” She went on, “increased opportunities for employment will benefit the county as a whole.” In their experience with hiring at CASCO, it took “three months to fill an available position with the right candidate.”
Hunt would recommend Leadership Coshocton for others, stating, “it’s a great way to learn about community and ways to help grow the community.”
