"Without accurate information democracy doesn't function properly.
Now, I hope that that information is fair, accurate and balanced, and that is what we believe in at the Milwaukee County Historical Society."
Those were the words of Ben Barbera, president and executive director of the Milwaukee County Historical Society, at Thursday night's BizTimes Media Nonprofit Excellence Awards in Milwaukee.
The organization was awarded the Nonprofit Collaboration of the Year award for teaming up with the Wisconsin Historical Society to offer free in-school local history education programming to more than 5,000 students in the current school year, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Serenity Inns was awarded the Nonprofit Executive of the Year award, which recognizes individuals who have demonstrated vision, innovation, and leadership in advancing the mission of their nonprofit organization.
"Our mission is support as many men as we can as they struggle with substance abuse disorder, and as we continue to move forward and expand our reach to help more men in the community, I am just grateful," says the CEO of Serenity Inns, which provides residential recovery housing and a holistic treatment program for men struggling with substance abuse disorder.
