Transforming Lives Through Christel House
by Sharon Scott Wilson - Publisher of Resort Trades Magazine

Crossville, TN – June 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / Newly appointed Christel House International President & CEO Bart Peterson takes his mandate – helping transform lives by giving underprivileged kids a hand up, rather than a hand-out – pretty darned seriously. Founded in 1998 by Christel DeHaan, who personally underwrites all administrative expenses, the non-profit organization has been unique in using 100% of donated funds exclusively to provide programs and services for children. During its last twenty years, Christel House has steadily built a network of schools to serve children from extremely disadvantaged backgrounds. And when it comes to public service, Mr. Peterson is no slouch.

He served two terms as Mayor of Indianapolis from 2000 to 2007, and in 2007 was President of the National League of Cities. His accomplishments as mayor include working with Indiana University, Purdue University, Eli Lilly (where from 2009 to 2017 he was SVP of Corporate Affairs and Communications and a member of its Executive Committee), and the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership to create BioCrossroads, an Indiana life-sciences initiative.

It turns out that Purdue University produces more than just great basketball players; Peterson got his bachelor’s degree there before going on to earn a JD from the University of Michigan.

Peterson’s list of achievements is stellar: Prior to running for office, Mr. Peterson was a member of Indiana Governor Evan Bayh’s leadership team, first as his advisor for environmental affairs and later as his Chief of Staff. He also served stints as Managing Director of Strategic Capital Partners, as a Fellow with the Institute of Politics at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Public Policy at Ball State University.

The list continues: Presently, Mr. Peterson serves on the boards of the Regenstrief Foundation, 16 Tech Community Corporation, and Kite Realty Group. Previously, he was an appointee to the U.S. Department of State’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Advisory Council. (continue reading here)
