Chad Stacy, CFO of Dunn School, has been awarded the 2020 Will Hancock Unsung Hero Award from the National Business Officers Association (NBOA). 

Stacy was one of 10 business officers nationwide to receive the award. He was nominated for the award by several members of the Dunn School administration to recognize his efforts in helping the 64-year-old private independent school navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with success.

The NBOA gives the Unsung Hero Award to independent school business officers who have made extraordinary contributions to their schools. The prize is named after Will J. Hancock, a school administrator who always went above and beyond the call of duty during his 35 years at Hawaii Preparatory Academy. Hancock influenced and inspired countless school business officers throughout his long career.
