Henkel selected to Advisory Council
Herbert L. Henkel, chairman, president and CEO of Ingersoll-Rand, has been selected to join The Environmental Institute for Golf's Advisory Council.
The Advisory Council provides guidance to The Institute's board of trustees in the areas of outreach, fundraising and strategic planning. The Advisory Council is headed by World Golf Hall of Fame member Greg Norman.
"Herb is a great addition to The Institute's Advisory Council," said Norman, chairman and CEO of Great White Shark Enterprises. "He is a person who is passionate about golf and ensuring its vitality. He will provide solid leadership and critical thought to our work."
"As a global citizen, we take seriously our responsibility to be a good steward of the natural environment, to be a good neighbor to the communities in which we operate, and to provide a safe and healthy workplace for our employees," Henkel said. "Ingersoll-Rand is committed to investing significantly in solutions that deliver environmental benefits. That commitment coupled with our relationship with golf, has made us a longtime supporter of The Institute."
One of Ingersoll-Rand's companies, Club Car, has supported The Institute through gifts to the annual silent auction, "Investing in the Beauty of Golf" endowment campaign and annual Platinum Tee Club donations. The Platinum Tee Club is the giving club for organizations that contribute a minimum of $5,000 annually to The Institute. Club Car is also recognized at the Presidential Club level in the cumulative giving program for organizations which have given $100,000 - $250,000 since 1987.
