About John Conant?
John Ackerman Conant was a philanthropist and former executive
at the John H. Harland check-printing company who understood what it was
like to face challenges and barriers because of his own disability, a
result of polio. For more than 20 years, Mr. Conant was the
guiding light of the John H. and Wilhelmina D. Harland Charitable
Foundation which has given generously to meet needs all over Atlanta.
Mr. Conant was also a board member and strong supporter of Atlanta
Interfaith Broadcasters. After his passing in 2005, AIB created an
award to honor Mr. Conant's memory by recognizing those organizations that
excel at community service.
