Jason Jones and Chuck Carson spoke at yesterday’s Troy Rotary Club meeting.  Jones and Carson are the co-founders of Trojans Together Collective which is the official Troy University Name, Image and Likeness entity.  They explained how the collective they created a year ago has continued to grow as it connects Troy athletes with local businesses interested in having their company brand associated with Troy student-athletes.

They explained that the businesses benefit from that exposure and that the student-athletes benefit financially and through personal development via their partnership with area businesses. There are currently 16 area businesses that are members of the Trojans Together Collective.

Jones is the owner of Jones Medical Supply that has offices in Troy, Greenville and Dothan.  Carson is Senior Vice-President of Investments at Benjamin F. Edwards Investments.
