A statewide preservation group has chosen a Jasper man as its new leader. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:
Indiana Landmarks says Brad Ward has been selected the organization’s next president and CEO.
Ward most recently served as the Director for Community Foundations at Foundant Technologies, a philanthropy-tech firm that supports community foundation fundraising.
Ward will replace Marsh Davis, who is retiring after serving Indiana Landmarks for 36 of its 65 years.
During those years, the non-profit helped preserve historic buildings across the state, including the former Greyhound Bus Station and the Owen Block building in Evansville.
From 2008 to 2012, Ward led the Huntingburg Foundation, working with board leaders to merge with the Dubois County Community Foundation.
He also guided the rehabilitation of the Astra Theatre in Jasper as a live entertainment and performance venue.
