BATESVILLE – The Ripley County Community Foundation (RCCF) recognizes the service of two out-going Board Members, Steve Huff and Bill Narwold.
Per policy, both gentlemen are stepping down after serving their maximum number of terms. With this, the board of directors will gain three new creative members: Megan Gray, Ben Peetz and Jill Tunny.
The board of directors determine, monitor and strengthen the RCCF’s programs and services, while also managing resources effectively and providing guidance and support to employees within the organization. The board is composed of community members that represent all areas of Ripley County, and each member can serve two, three-year terms. The officers of the board of directors include a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
