For more than forty years, Dr. Duane Hoak has intentionally spent his life in action, serving his community. He’s volunteered countless hours and served on the advisory councils and boards of numerous organizations, including Aspire Indiana, United Way of Madison County, Family Network Agency, Indiana Council of Mental Health Community Centers, Salvation Army, Anderson Public Library, Indiana Public Radio, and more.  In town, he is generally known as “Mr. Kiwanian” because he has held nearly every post for the Kiwanis Club.  He volunteers at the food pantry at Park Place Church.
