It is my pleasure to announce that our CEO, Pat Wachtel, will be honored tonight with a Torchbearer Award from the Indiana Commission for Women. This award honors women who have eliminated gender barriers while making Indiana a better place to live, work and raise a family. I am elated that Pat is receiving recognition of her strong, smart, and bold leadership and lifetime of breaking barriers, from careers in banking, community development, corporate and community relations, and now nonprofit executive.
I invite you to view excerpts of Pat's nomination letter. Please join me in congratulating Pat for this well-deserved honor!
