Dave Polstra Wins Community Leadership Award For Work with Medical Missions Ministries
Brightworth Co-founder Dave Polstra received the Global Community Impact Award during the fifth annual Community Leadership Awards as presented by the Invest In Others Charitable Foundation and InvestmentNews. He was recognized for his work with Medical Missions Ministries, which provides free medical clinics in rural Guatemala, where he currently oversees the nonprofit organization’s stateside operations.
“This is a great honor and humbling experience,” said Polstra. “When my wife, Betsy, and I first started going on these mission trips 20 years ago, I never imagined being awarded for my efforts. What began as a reluctant experiment turned into a long-time passion that has made a significant, life-changing impact on me and my family.”
Mr. Polstra accepted the award at a dinner held at New York City’s Cipriani 42nd Street that was attended by more than 500 executives from nearly 60 financial organizations. The finalists were also invited to partake in the NASDAQ opening bell ceremony, where their names and photos were showcased on the Jumbo Tron on Times Square.
As part of the award, the Invest In Others Charitable Foundation will make a $20,000 donation to Medical Missions Ministries.
