SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Bill Roby, executive director of the El Dorado Community Foundation, has been awarded the 2022 Normadene Carpenter Award, presented by Arts and Culture El Dorado.

“I am deeply moved and honored to have been chosen for this year’s Carpenter Award,” Roby said in a news release. “Arts and culture have always been intertwined for me.

This is one of our most treasured defining factors, which is why I believe in and support the mission of Arts and Culture El Dorado.”
