The dinner will be held on Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. in the upper level of the Habecker Dining Commons on Huntington University's campus with a reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

At the dinner, Packnett, who joined Parkview Health in June 2006, will speak about Vision 2020, an initiative to improve northeast Indiana by 2020 through improved businesses, education, infrastructure and the general quality of life for residents.

Business leaders, educators, foundations and government entities have come together for this plan to develop an actionable vision with immediate and long-term strategies for improving the economic vitality of the 10-county northeast Indiana region.

Also at the dinner, the Foundation will present its 2010 Distinguished Service Award. The Huntington University Foundation established this award in 2002 to recognize individuals or organizations that embody the principles associated with the mission of Huntington University.

Recipients give substance and credence to the university's beliefs, serve as effective role models for students and receive recognition for the tremendous contribution they make to the Huntington County community.

To register for the dinner, contact Barb Baker at 359-4069 or bbaker@hunt ington.edu. There is a cost per person, or tables of eight may be reserved.
The registration deadline is Sept. 21.
