Ron was a recipient of the 1996 Phoenix Chamber of Commerce "Small Business Person of the Year" award for Innovation and also received the 1997 SBA Small Business Award for Media Advocacy.
Before joining Goodwill’s board, Cohen served on the board of directors for the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona Small Business Association and currently serves on the board of the Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center and the Better Business Bureau of Arizona. He also served on the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Small Business Awards Judging Committee for 11 years, was a sponsor and member of the planning committee for the Ernst and Young entrepreneur awards program and participated as a judge for the annual Better Business Bureau business ethics awards.
