 State Sen. Vaneta Becker (R-Evansville) was a recipient of the Civility in Government Award presented by the Association of Retired Members of the Indiana General Assembly (ARMIGA) Monday, Jan. 25.
“I am extremely honored to receive this award,†Becker said. “Civility in government is needed now more than ever. I will continue to set an example and show respect for my fellow legislators by working together with a dignified demeanor, even when the debate gets tough.â€
ARMIGA is a bipartisan organization consisting of former Indiana legislators who come together to recognize the good work of current members of the Indiana General Assembly.
A nine-member selection committee comprised of former lawmakers, lobbyists and members of the media worked together to identify those who embody politeness, good communication and emotional control in every aspect of their legislative efforts.
The names of the award winners will be displayed on engraved plaques that will hang in the hallways outside the Senate and House chambers.
