BARBARA SCHWARTZ BROMBERG ALLIANCE PARTNER SPONSOR AWARD
Keith Steiner

In celebration of Barbara's passion for our community and friendship – the NICF Board of Directors has established a new award to be shared from time to time with an Alliance Partner. The first Barbara Schwartz Bromberg Alliance Partner Sponsor Award was presented to a gentleman who has reflected extraordinary commitment to the NICF.
 
OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Dr. Thomas Jelke

In the words of one of our winners many nominators. "Tom has served the AFA Foundation board as its chairman since 2006, after having joined the board in 2001. From 2005 to 2008 restricted and unrestricted donations have increased 24% and nearly 150 new donors were identified. Under Tom's watch the AFA Foundation has been able to endow scholarship to the Annual Meeting, cultivate gifts, and increase the level of educational programming provided to the organizations members. Tom's influence, dedication, and tenacity constitute a triple threat in anyone's language."
 
WILLIAM D. JENKINS OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR
David R. Schumacher

Our award winner, like the other storied recipients of the Jenkins award has a proud history in the fundraising industry. One of Dave's nominators states, "Dave, while not a member of Delta Upsilon, was able to come into the position and have an immediate impact. He did not miss a step and in fact was able to stabilize the staff, and led the charge to refresh and grow the Foundation's Board of Trustees after the departure of Dave's predecessor."
