Starke County Chamber of Commerce Names

Charles W. Weaver

2009 Henry F. Schricker Award Winner

The Starke County Chamber of Commerce today announced that the 2009 Henry F. Schricker Award Winner is Charles W. Weaver. Mr. Weaver (Charlie) is well known for his advocacy on behalf of the citizens of Starke County.

The award is named after Henry F. Schricker who was born in North Judson Indiana on August 30, 1883. He became Governor of the State of Indiana for terms in 1941-1944 and again from 1949-1952. Governor Schricker is the only person in Indiana History to be elected to two non-consecutive terms as Governor. The Indiana Constitution adopted in 1861 prohibited persons from being elected to consecutive terms as Governor until changed in the early 1970’s. Governor Schricker always lived by the attitude of “service before self”, which credo has become the foundation of the award named in his honor.

Mr. Weaver has resided in Starke County since 1972 when he began the practice of law under Orville W. Nichols, Jr. of Nichols & Nichols and later as Nichols, Wallsmith & Weaver. In late 2005, Mr. Weaver assumed the position as Executive Director of the Starke County Economic Development Foundation, a position, he still retains.

Mr. Weaver is well-known throughout Starke County and Indiana as a very active advocate for the County’s citizenry.
