Community Advocates' CEO Andi Elliott was recognized yesterday at the 11th annual BizTimes Nonprofit Excellence Awards as a finalist in the Nonprofit Executive of the Year category. We were in good company at the Italian Community Center as the ballroom filled with executives, board members, and staff for some of the most influential nonprofit organizations in our community.
