MUNCIE, IN — Delaware County nonprofit organizations are invited to nominate a board member for the John W. and Janice B. Fisher Governance Award before the deadline on Aug. 15.
The award, given by Ball Brothers Foundation, recognizes “the important role board members play in strategic planning and financial oversight to achieve their organization’s mission,” according to a news release.
The award recipient will receive a $10,000 grant for their organization.
“Board members often work behind the scenes, but their leadership plays a big role in a nonprofit’s success,” said Jud Fisher, president and CEO of Ball Brothers Foundation. “This award is our way of shining a light on those leaders in Delaware County who quietly and consistently devote their time and efforts to strengthen organizations and, in turn, improve life in our community.”
The award is named in honor of Delaware County philanthropists John W. and Janice B. Fisher, Ball family members who “believed deeply in the importance of good governance and strong leadership,” the release said.
The award will be presented at the Greater Muncie Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner on Nov. 18.
