IBBA Lifetime Honorary Award

Melanie has been president, board member, committee chairperson and more. She has guided us through legal and procedural minefields numerous times. Her bookkeeping, accounting, business, and organizational skills have kept the IBBA on track. Ms. McCarthy single handedly took care of the incorporation of Wings of Hope so it is now a 501c Corporation that can take tax deductible donations. Melanie has been a part of the IBBA since its beginning, but it is what she has done in the interim that matters.
Zane B. Greathouse, IBBA Vice-President, 2006.
