In the last week, Governor Eric Holcomb was recognized not just once, but TWICE, for his work to deliver results for Hoosiers on two of his main priorities – growing our economy and fighting the drug epidemic.
He was named the Trailblazer of the Year at Techpoint’s (Indiana’s technology initiative) Mira Awards gala over the weekend, and just yesterday he was awarded the Richard M. Fairbanks Circle of Hope Award by Fairbanks, a provider of addiction treatment and recovery programs across the state.
