This was another big week. Just yesterday, we were excited to officially announce the inaugural class of the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series! I first told you about this program when we were launching back in July, with the aim of helping Hoosier Republicans from diverse backgrounds learn more about our party, government, and opportunities to get more involved. It’s part of our long-term efforts to bring more historically underrepresented communities into civic leadership roles in our state, and it’s something I’ve been talking about since becoming chairman.
I have to tell you, I’m really excited about this inaugural class. You can check out their bios here, and you’ll see that this class includes Hoosiers with backgrounds in the military, law enforcement, the ministry, business, tech, nonprofits, public service and beyond. With their experience and the connections and information they’ll gain through our class sessions starting in January, I know that this class (and our state) has a bright future ahead.
And speaking of our state’s bright future, happy 204th birthday to Indiana today. We’ve accomplished some great things together, and I know that our best days are still yet to come.
