I feel privileged and blessed to serve as a Community Foundation of Wabash County Board Member.  The Staff and the Board, as a team, have worked very hard since 1954 to accomplish great things and I’m positive that tradition will continue well into the future.  I look forward to helping make an already great organization an even better one.

Small Business Owner and Retired Pastor

I appreciate serving on the CFWC Board because of the many ways the CF engages and serves the entire county whether its a local playground, scholarships for students or consulting on large envisioning and planning projects that promote sustainability.  There seems to be no task too large or too small that doesn't attract the attention and support of the Foundation.

Product Information Manager, Ford Meter Box 

I serve to help promote and support higher education for county residents and help others provide a means to support charitable causes for future generations.

President & CEO, Grow Wabash County

I’ve partnered with the CFWC since I moved to Wabash County, from the Early Childhood education initiatives spearheaded by the CFWC when I first arrived to workforce education and the re-imagining of Grow Wabash County through the development of the Imagine One 85 initiative, and I always admired the work and professionalism of the CFWC team, and so when the opportunity to join the board arose I was an immediate yes!

VP Commercial / Ag Lending Officer, Crossroads Bank

I enjoy utilizing my talents and networking relationships to provide guidance and leadership to the community organizations and business owners that I can serve. Service above self was something I learned very early in life from my years growing up and working in the Wabash County area. I am very proud to contribute to the board of the Community Foundation, as a Wabash County second generation resident, after my Father served on the board several terms in the very early developing years of the Foundation in North Manchester.

My wife and I were both blessed by scholarships from the Community Foundation of Wabash County. As we raise our family in this community, we want Wabash County to be strong for years to come, and serving on the Community Foundation's board of directors was a way to help move this community forward.
