Sign Up For a Focus Area Committee Before January 7, 2022!

One of the most rewarding aspects of being an Impact 100 member is participating on a committee responsible for choosing a finalist in one of our five Focus Areas. If you’d like to be on a committee, it’s important to submit your preferences now, so that committees can be finalized before their first meetings in January.

Please go to the FAC Sign-up Form by January 7, 2022. On this form, you’ll be asked to rank your preference and indicate if there are any committees you cannot sit on due to schedule or conflict of interest. You can review the dates, location and times of the five focus area committees to help you fill out the form.

The dates, times and locations for 2020 FAC meetings are below. If you are a 2022 member, use the FAC sign-up form to tell us which FAC you would like to join. Contact us at grants@impact100indy.org if you have any questions.
