The Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest has named John Davies the organization’s first Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.

He is the founder and retired managing director of the Society of Innovators. Davies led the organization from its inception in 2005 until 2018.

He was also instrumental in relaunching the South Shore poster series in the late 1990s and worked with the South Shore Convention & Visitors Authority to create the Wall of Legends in 2004, an exhibit focused on often unsung region heroes who shared the values of exploration, courage, creativity and innovation.
