Do you know a woman who empowers and inspires others while improving our community? If so, nominations are now open for the Nancy Armbrust Impact Award!

Schreiber Foods created the award in 2018 to honor Nancy Armbrust, a retired Schreiber Foods executive, for her community advocacy and leadership. It has since been awarded annually to recognize a woman who, like Armbrust, has made a lasting impact on our community.

Given in partnership with Schreiber Foods and the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, the award includes a grant of $5,000 to be awarded to the recipient’s nonprofit organization of choice that supports women and girls through the Women’s Fund of Greater Green Bay’s biannual grant cycle.

• Actively assists others, particularly women, in realizing their full leadership potential.
• Empowers women and inspires girls by being a role model for others to emulate.
• Creates an environment within organization(s) that value women’s accomplishments and contributions.
• Made a significant impact in Brown, Kewaunee, and/or Oconto counties through both their business and community involvement.
• Strong nominations include concrete examples, stories, and measurable impact. Nominations should be no longer than 500 words.
