Thank You, Frank Huck, for Volunteering at Darien Arts Center

Thank you, Frank Huck, for helping new members of the Board of Directors at Darien Arts Center better understand the organization’s goals and the community’s needs.

—This article is part of a series of daily articles profiling the volunteers recognized in May at the Darien annual volunteer recognition luncheon organized by the Community Fund of Darien.

Frank Huck is also a member of the Darien Board of Finance.

Frank Huck’s Efforts

The Darien Arts Center Board of Directors would like to thank Frank Huck for his dedication, thoughtful perspective and guidance as our treasurer during a time of transition at DAC.

With his positive approach, he helped a large group of new board members to understand our finances and the performance objectives of a multifaceted organization.

He also encouraged us to take a broader view by sharing his knowledge of the changing demographics and educational environment around us.

Thank you Frank for all you do for the Darien Arts Center!

— by Pam Heckel of the Darien Arts Center

About This Series

• The profiles in this series were presented at the 2019 volunteer recognition luncheon held at the Darien Community Association and recorded (in this video) by Darien TV79.
• Darien runs on volunteers — from our churches to our town government, schools, political parties, sports teams, three fire departments and our local nonprofits. They’re the largest part of what makes this town a community. We should all encourage them and thank them.
• Darienite.com is running this series now, while more people are thinking about whether they want to volunteer in the upcoming year. We may run it sooner after the next event, in 2020.
• Each article presents the description provided about that volunteer (or sometimes more than one) as provided by an organization that benefited from that person’s efforts.
