“Local arts and culture initiatives, and local businesses have a substantial economic impact on a community, so it’s only fitting as the only locally headquartered financial institution in downtown Elkhart, that INOVA continues to support the Elkhart ArtWalk.” said Kerie Sekal, Vice President of Marketing and Member Engagement for INOVA Federal. “INOVA was originally established back in 1942 to serve the employees of Miles Laboratories, so our roots run deep here. Being the presenting sponsor of this new Ducky Derby event is just another fun way for us to continue to partner with our community and celebrate our 80^th anniversary.”
