ZANESVILLE -- Nan Nolder received the Brian T. Wagner Community Leadership Award Friday evening for her work with the youth of Muskingum County.
The Wagner Award was established by the Muskingum County Community Foundation Council to honor people between the age of 18 and 45 who perform extraordinary volunteer services within Muskingum County.
The recognition ceremony for Nan Nolder was at Zane State College/Ohio University-Zanesville Campus Center during a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Muskingum County Community Foundation. The 6:30 p.m. presentation of her award and a $1,000 check for her favorite nonprofit organizations preceded the Dick Johnson Civic Leadership Award presentation to Dick McClelland.
According to her nominators, Linda Huston and Brenton Baker, Nolder has become "an instrumental leader in the Zanesville/Dresden area who has reached out to our community to find ways she could serve and better the lives of children."
Much of Nolder's work has benefitted the Tri-Valley Community. She has been president of the Dresden Elementary PTO for the past three years and has volunteered every Monday at Dresden Elementary School. Through her leadership, the financial resources of the PTO have quadrupled.
The other four work days Nolder works as the Treasurer's Assistant at the Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center. Prior to her present position she was Internal Auditor at Greif Brothers Corporation in Delaware and Senior Auditor at KPMG, Columbus.
An accounting major, Nolder graduated in 1992 from Bowling Green State University with a bachelor's degree cum laude in business administration and became a certified public accountant.
As a stay-at-home wife and mom from 1997 to 2006, she was active with MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), served as Secretary of the Tri-Valley Youth Soccer Association, and volunteered as the chair of many committees of the Jefferson Elementary PTO.
Nolder is president-elect of the Zanesville Arsenal Soccer Club where she has brought the same passion for soccer that she exhibited in the Tri-Valley District here she was instrumental in solidifying the growing Tri-Valley Youth Soccer Association.
Nolder lives on the Muskingum River with her husband Jerry and her two sons Grant, 12, and Greg, 10.
The beneficiaries of the Wagner Award designated by Nolder will be the Animal Shelter and the Genesis Healthcare Foundation (for women's health).
