The 2024 Social Impact Party

On November 20th Measurement Resources Company (MRC) and SureImpact hosted their annual Social Impact party at Wild Goose Creative, a nonprofit community arts organization located in downtown Columbus.

This special event brought together leaders throughout the social sector, celebrating their work and the impact made in our communities this year. The evening was full of jazz, refreshments, and catching up with new and familiar faces. During the evenings celebrations we took a moment to present our annual Impact Partner of the Year Award.

The Social Impact Award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to data informed strategies and initiatives. This year we had the honor of presenting the award to two incredible women, Lisa Hinkelman and Barb Smoot.

Lisa Hinkelman is the Founder and CEO of Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX), a nationally recognized nonprofit with a mission to create generations of confident girls who are in control of their own relationships, experiences, decisions and futures.

Barb Smoot is the President & CEO of Women for Economic and Leadership Development (WELD), a national nonprofit that develops and advances women’s leadership to strengthen the economic prosperity of the communities it serves.
