October 4: Perry Hammock, Executive Director, Indiana Bicentennial Commission
Indiana at 200: Celebrating the Hoosier State
Indiana’s Bicentennial Celebration kicked off on Statehood Day, December 11, 2015, and will continue to a grand finale weekend December 10 and 11, 2016. Indiana’s Bicentennial Commission aims to honor our state’s 200 years of history, and do so in a way that engages all 6.5 million Hoosiers and leaves lasting legacies for future generations. The Bicentennial Commission works with volunteer coordinators in every county to identify projects that are worthy of designation as “Official Bicentennial Legacy Projects.” All projects are categorized under four main themes set forth by the Commission:
- Youth and Education
- Historical Celebration
- Nature Conservation
- Community Involvement.
To date, 914 projects have been endorsed representing all 92 counties. Perry Hammock will talk about some of the wonderful projects underway, special dates and celebrations, and ways for all to be involved in this singular moment in Indiana history.
Hammock has served on statewide, national and international boards, including eight years on the board of directors of CFRE International, the global credentialing body for fund raising professionals.
Perry is a farm kid and Indiana native. He holds bachelors and masters degrees from Purdue University. He is married to Chris, a wonderful and talented middle school history teacher, and has an accomplished adult daughter, Emily. Son-in-Law Matt and Linus the WonderCat round out the family.
