“I’m thrilled to join The Parks Alliance of Indianapolis and to play a role in the organization’s growth and the pursuit of its incredibly important mission,” said Johnson. “Indianapolis is moving toward being one of the most extraordinary parks cities in the country. I look forward to working alongside the dynamic teams at The Parks Alliance of Indianapolis, Indy Parks & Recreation, and our many partners to ensure that happens.”
“Blake has a strong track record of nonprofit leadership and public service, and we are delighted to have him lead us into our next chapter as an organization,” said Jenn Schimmelpfennig, board chair for the organization. “The Parks Alliance of Indianapolis will benefit tremendously from his experience and passion for the mission.”
