Central Indiana’s BBB announces leadership change

Better Business Bureau serving Central Indiana (BBB) President and CEO, Tim Maniscalo, announced his resignation.  

Since 2013, Maniscalo has been dedicated to advancing BBB’s mission by creating a community of trustworthy businesses and charities. Throughout his eight-year tenure, Maniscalo was often seen in the local media sharing empowering information to help protect consumers, businesses and charities from unscrupulous scams. His lasting impact included reviving BBB’s Torch Awards to publicly recognize exemplary businesses and charities within our own local community. He also established the Better Business Bureau Foundation Serving Indiana in order to strengthen BBB’s public outreach through educational programs and services. 

“We very much appreciate Tim’s commitment to raising awareness surrounding BBB’s mission and services for the past eight years,” said Central Indiana BBB Board Chairman, Tom Sponsel. “During a time when marketplace trust is needed most, his advocacy brought about positive changes in our community.”   

To ensure there is no interruption to BBB’s service to the community, its board of directors has established a search committee for its next CEO and appointed current Chief Operating and Financial Officer, Cathy Armour, as interim President & CEO.
