MUNCIE, IN — Each year, the John W. and Janice B. Fisher Governance Award recognizes one board member of a Delaware County non-profit whose actions have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their organization. The award, given by Ball Brothers Foundation, is intended to highlight the important role that governing board members play in strategic planning, financial oversight, and overall organizational effectiveness. Non-profits have until 4 p.m. on Aug. 15 to nominate one of their board members for the award, which includes a $10,000 grant to the winner’s respective organization.
“This award celebrates the important, hard work that board members do for their nonprofits—much of which is often done behind the scenes,” said Jud Fisher, president and CEO of Ball Brothers Foundation. “Behind every healthy non-profit is a strong governing board with thoughtful, passionate leaders who are dedicated to helping our community thrive.”
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.
This year’s winner will be announced in October at the Muncie–Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner.
