Georgia Technical College Foundation Association Names Local Physician Volunteer of the Year

The Georgia Technical College Foundation Association (TCFA) announced its 2010 Volunteer of the Year and Benefactor of the Year award winners during its annual awards dinner on Thursday, October 21, at the Edgar H. Wilson Convention Center in Macon.

The TCFA Volunteer of the Year and Benefactor of the Year awards recognize outstanding contributions that individuals have made on behalf of the TCSG colleges – contributions that embody the ideals of philanthropy, leadership and volunteerism in the service of Georgia’s technical colleges.

All of the nominees for the two awards epitomize the TCFA mission to increase local support for the 26 colleges of the Technical College System of Georgia by increasing the advancement capacity of the colleges’ related foundations.

This year’s winners were Dr. Paul Fischer, the Volunteer of the Year who was nominated by the Augusta Technical College Foundation, and Richard D. “Dick” Eckburg, the Benefactor of the Year who was nominated by the Savannah Technical College Foundation.

Each received a $1,000 check donated in their honor to the scholarship funds of their nominating colleges, along with a commemorative Frabel glass sculpture.

Dr. Fischer is a founder of the Center for Primary Care, which has grown into one of Augusta’s largest family medicine practices. He has long been a strong supporter of Augusta Technical College and his influence has helped the college to build one of the strongest Medical Assisting programs in the region. In 2007, Dr. Fischer provided the college with $100,000 to fund the largest individual scholarship endowment in the TCSG system.

Community service and volunteer leadership were hallmarks all of this year’s seven nominees for TCFA Volunteer of the Year. In addition to Dr. Fischer, the nominees were: Carol S. Williams, nominated by the Athens Technical College Foundation; Carolyn Young, nominated by the Atlanta Technical College Foundation; Don Barbour, nominated by the Chattahoochee Technical College Foundation; Ed Needham, nominated by the DeKalb Technical College Foundation; Ms. Celia Dunn, nominated by the Savannah Technical College Foundation; and Malcolm Jackson, nominated by the West Georgia Technical College Foundation.

The Benefactor of the Year, Richard D. “Dick” Eckburg, set the pace for Savannah Technical College’s Focused Investment Campaign with a $500,000 gift to the college’s foundation. He took the time to share his ideas and vision for the campaign and helped the college gain valuable buy-in and support from others in the area, which maintained the energy and momentum needed to complete the work. In addition to his campaign support, Mr. Eckburg is a dedicated advocate for Savannah Technical College and a regular speaker at graduation ceremonies and key supporter of the college’s events.

This year’s seven nominees for TCFA Benefactor of the Year were individuals or companies that are significant donors and supporters of the TCSG colleges. In addition to Mr. Eckburg, the nominees were: Jack Edmunds, nominated by the Athens Technical College Foundation; Automated Data Processing (ADP), Inc., nominated by the Augusta Technical College Foundation; Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, nominated by the Chattahoochee Technical College Foundation; Cecil Allen, nominated by the DeKalb Technical College Foundation; Carlton Wheeler, nominated by the Georgia Northwestern Technical College Foundation; and Archbold Memorial Hospital, nominated by the Southwest Georgia Technical College Foundation.

The 26 TCSG colleges offer more than 600 certificate, diploma and degree programs. The TCSG also manages the state’s adult education and GED® testing programs, as well as the internationally recognized Quick Start workforce training program for business and industry.

Enrollment at the 26 TCSG colleges is growing at a record pace, fueled in part by the large number of unemployed and under-employed Georgians who are turning to the colleges to learn additional skills and discover new careers. Last year, the TCSG enrolled more than 191,000 students, which was a 22% increase over the year before.
