Earlier this year, Bob Puff was honored for his recent volunteer service as Chair of Indian River Community Foundation's Board of Directors by being given the privilege of recommending a local nonprofit organization's executive director to receive the inaugural Chairman's Nonprofit Leadership Award.  As a result, Shannon Bowman, Executive Director of Childcare Resources of Indian River was selected as the recipient.

The Chairman's Nonprofit Leadership Award is a $2,500 grant given to a local nonprofit organization for the purpose of supporting the professional development of its executive director.  In making his selection, Puff had this to say about selecting Bowman:

"Shannon Bowman is an accomplished leader who has done a great job as head of a local charity that serves working families in our community. I am impressed by her ability to get important things done, such as the launch of Childcare Resource's new school and the successful completion of the organization's capital campaign.  I also appreciate Shannon's dedicated service to the broader community of nonprofits here in Indian River County.  She has earned this recognition."
