(KNSI) – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota took home three awards at the parent organization’s Nationwide Leadership Council.

The most prominent is the Gold Standard Award. It is given to chapters that have seen upswings in revenue and the number of participants in the program, both mentors and youth.

The central Minnesota chapter also secured trophies for Board of the Year and the Biggie Award. Board of the Year considers engagement, governance, oversight, and growth when judging how the body is grading the performance of the executive director and staff.

Central Minnesota won the Biggie Award thanks to its 2021 Annual Report. “Awards like this are never a singular accomplishment. This is not just a Big Brothers Big Sisters achievement. It signals growth for our entire community,” says Executive Director Jackie Johnson.
