Tom Sponsel, Managing Partner of the Sponsel CPA Group, has been nominated and selected for the Professional Advisor Leadership Council (PALC) of the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF). His three-year term began March 2016.
CICF partners with nonprofit groups, government agencies, civic leaders and philanthropic endeavors to coordinate efforts to make Central Indiana a better place to live. This extends to helping families become self-sufficient, encouraging visitors and businesses to invest here, helping young people become ready for college and beyond, bolstering the community’s intellectual capacity and making neighborhoods safer and more connected.
As a member of PALC, Sponsel will bring four decades of experience in public accounting and strategic business counseling to the table. PALC members meet regularly to discuss the area’s charitable sector and improve relationships with various professional advisors.
Sponsel has served in a number of leadership roles in professional and civic organizations over the years. This includes positions with the Catholic Community Foundation, St. Vincent Health, Perry Township Schools, the Financial Council of Archdiocese of Indianapolis, the Indiana CPA Society, charter schools and mentoring high school students.
“It is an honor to serve CICF on their professional advisor council,” Sponsel said. “Their mission is critical to the long-term health of our community, and their record of success is truly astonishing. I look forward to contributing in any way I can.”
