Founding Board Members
The first board of directors was a combination of sixteen board members from the two community foundations in the county, which merged in 1997 from the Montpelier Community Foundation and the Blackford County Foundation. Since then only fifty local residents have served as directors.
Founding board members (1997) Robert Wyne, Fred Walker, Robert Barry, Ted Leas, and Rod Black attended a 2012 Foundation celebration.
