Northwestern Mutual CEO John Schlifske presenting the
Community Service Award to Mitch Barnes.
I am honored to once again be selected as a 2011 recipient of the Northwestern Mutual Community Service Award. This award was created to recognize financial representatives and associate financial representatives for their outstanding volunteer leadership and dedication to charitable organizations and philanthropic projects. Each award recipient is honored with a $10,000 check presented to his/her charitable organization on behalf of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation.
