Strode Receives Award​ The Kentucky Nonprofit Network has announced the winners of its 2015 Nonprofit Awards, to be presented October 28. Receiving the Distinguished Nonprofit Leadership Award is Wendell Strode, Executive Director of the National Corvette Museum.​ The Distinguished Nonprofit Leadership Award recognizes outstanding leadership among Kentucky nonprofit chief executives. The award recognizes achievement in the areas of strategic leadership, community building, ethical integrity, innovation and commitment to strengthening the nonprofit sector.​ Wendell Strode has served as executive director of the National Corvette Museum since 1996 and is noted for growing Museum membership and increasing visitors to Bowling Green and Kentucky, resulting in an economic impact in excess of $35 million to the local and state economy. He is also recognized for his exceptional leadership during the sinkhole incident that occurred at the Museum in February 2014, using the disaster as an opportunity to gain world-wide media attention and experience record Museum attendance during repairs.​ Congrats, Wendell!​

What's in Your Museum?​ When touring through the Museum, you might start to notice the Messner name on more than one vehicle. That's because the late Don Messner and his wife Marlene gifted the Museum with 10 pristine Corvettes in 2013... and today we have five of them out on the floor for your enjoyment! We've written a little about each one on our blog here, but we think you might enjoy watching the story of this amazing collection of cars on our You Tube channel. The video is part of our new "Heritage Series" where we will bring you the stories of America's Sports Car. We hope you enjoy it, and that you'll stay tuned for new additions to the series in the future! ​
