Community Relations
A Message from the President and CEO
Welcome to the Community Relations section of the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center's web site. In an effort to provide easy access to important and relevant information about the Innovation Center we have created this special section on our web site for funders, potential donors, media, and other interested stakeholders. We are an
ISO 9001:2000 certified technology & research center. In addition, we voluntarily comply with the Better Business Bureau's Charitable Accountability Standards (
http://www.fortwayne.bbb.org/).
Organizations, like ours, that comply with these accountability standards have provided documentation that they meet basic standards:
- In how they govern their organization,
- In the ways they spend their money,
- In the truthfulness of their representations, and
- In their willingness to disclose basic information to the public.
We welcome your feedback. Thanks for visiting us. ALL MEDIA INQUIRIES SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. YOU CAN REACH US AT 260.407.1736.
