Greenwood Rotary Club names award recipient

Chuck Dobbins is the 2023 recipient of the Rotary Club of Greenwood’s “Ernie Mishler Distinguished Service Award.”

The annual award is presented to a Greenwood Rotarian for his or her service and leadership in the community and for upholding and furthering the principles and ideals of Rotary.

Those principles and ideals were exemplified by former Greenwood Rotarian, community leader and local dentist, Dr. Ernie Mishler, after whom the award was named.

Dobbins, a Butler University graduate, is a retired Boy Scouts of America CEO in the Chicago Area Council and Northeast Region director. A member of the Rotary Club of Greenwood’s board of directors, he is the 25th member to be recognized as a recipient of the Mishler award. He has been a member of Rotary for over 20 years.

He is also a Paul Harris Fellow, a program named after Rotary’s founder that recognizes individuals have made a major contribution to the Rotary Foundation. Lee Money, also a Mishler award recipient, headed the selection committee and presented the award at the club’s Christmas holiday lunch.
