The Bruce McCarty Community Impact Award is granted to those who have demonstrated a commitment to building a better future for this region. 

The 2024 Bruce McCarty Community Impact Award is presented to Rev. Dr. Jerry Askew. Jerry is an outstanding Knoxville community leader who has enhanced the lives of others - in education, business, community service, and ministry. His early professional life was focused on higher education where he worked in Student Services at two universities, then was UT Dean of Students, and Vice Chancellor of UT Development and Alumni Affairs. 

Highlights of his career include: President of the East TN Foundation, President and CEO of the Alliance for Better Nonprofits, and Senior Vice President of Tennova Healthcare. During his 16-year tenure at Tennova, he helped to improve its community outreach and philanthropic efforts. His work experience over the years included grant-making, assistance to nonprofits, leadership and community development, media relations, marketing, and spiritual care. In addition to that, he still found time to serve on 61 Knoxville non-profit Boards and chaired 14 of them including the Volunteer Ministry Center, the Episcopal School of Knoxville, the Knoxville Utilities Board, and the Sertoma MyLife Foundation.

In addition, he completed a four-year Education in Ministry program leading to his ordination as Arch Deacon in the East TN Episcopal Diocese. He currently works at St. John's Episcopal Church with 16 active deacons across 43 churches. 

Compassion and humility are two of Jerry's greatest attributes and he has an innate ability to connect with people, no matter their status.

Jerry has made a huge difference in our community and the ETCDC is pleased to honor him with the Bruce McCarty Impact Award.
