Indiana State Rep. Holli Sullivan Selected for the CSG 2018 Toll Fellows Class

0

ndiana state Rep. Holli Sullivan is among the 48 state leaders from across the country selected to participate in The Council of State Governments’ 2018 Henry Toll Fellowship, the nation’s premier leadership development program for state government officials.

The members of the Class of 2018 hail from 32 states and Guam and represent all three branches of state government. A committee of program alumni reviewed applications and selected the class.

“Ultimately, I am always looking at ways to improve my ability to represent my constituents, increase productivity and efficiency to state government, and to help lead my colleagues and caucus,” Sullivan said. “The Toll Fellowship is a great avenue to obtain these goals.”

The Toll Fellowship, named for CSG founder Henry Wolcott Toll, has convened a group of the nation’s top officials for this intensive six-day, five-night intellectual boot camp for more than 30 years in Lexington, Kentucky. The 2018 program will be held Aug. 24-28.

The program’s agenda includes a lineup of dynamic sessions designed to stimulate personal assessment and growth, while providing networking and relationship-building opportunities. Each year’s program is unique, but previous programs have included sessions on leadership personality assessment, media training, crisis management, appreciative inquiry and adaptive leadership.

“The CSG Toll Fellows are a remarkable group of state leaders,” CSG Executive Director/CEO David Adkins said. “We have designed the fellowship to expand their leadership capacity with a strong focus on collaboration, communication and teamwork skills. Politics today are often characterized by polarization and gridlock. Toll Fellows learn how to overcome differences to serve the common good. These dedicated public servants leave the program energized and ready to return to their states and continue to make a difference.”

Adkins was a 1993 Toll Fellow when he served as a Kansas state representative.

Toll Fellows alumni include Cheri Beasley, associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court; Oregon Gov. Kate Brown; Delaware Gov. John Carney; Idaho U.S. Attorney Bart Davis; Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey; Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap; Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett; former Delaware Gov. Jack Markell; Anne McKeig, associate justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court; Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin; Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill; Tennessee U.S. Attorney Doug Overbey; Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate; U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita, a former Indiana secretary of state; former U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis; and Rhonda Wood, associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court.

“This experience will allow me to grow as a leader and enhance my network of interstate colleagues so I can better serve the citizens of Indiana,” Sullivan said. “It’s a humbling honor to serve this great state, and our citizens deserve a representative willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to serve in state government.”

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS

VICTORY THEATRE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 7 PM

TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, JULY 13 AT 10 AM CST

Evansville, IN– The Living Legend Group Oak Ridge Brothers will be coming to Evansville, IN and performing at Victory Theatre on Friday, August 17. Tickets start at $39 and go on sale Friday, July 13 at 10 AM.

Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as

enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been.

“When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I’ve ever wanted to have.”

“Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”

Office: (812) 422-8000 The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country’s truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011, they

rerecorded a thirtieth anniversary version of Elvira for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project.

The group has scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen nationalNumber One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits.

Tickets may be purchased at Ford Center Ticket Office,

Gov. Holcomb Provides School Safety Update & Announces New Program to Help Schools

0

With only a few weeks remaining before students head back to school, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb today provided parents, educators and communities an update on Indiana’s school safety efforts and announced a new program that will make handheld metal detectors available at no cost to schools that want them.

“Controlling what comes into our school buildings is just one important part of keeping our schools safe, and our efforts to assist school corporations must be ongoing and evolving,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Local officials are best positioned to determine their school safety needs and the measures that make sense for their students and communities, and—for many—these handheld metal detectors could make a substantial difference.”

Beginning today, the Indiana State Police and Department of Administration (IDOA) will coordinate the handheld metal detector program. This new program will make one handheld metal detector device available for every 250 students in traditional public, charter and accredited non-public schools by request. Schools can submit requests at www.in.gov/idoa/3134.htm. IDOA will place the first orders for the metal detector devices on July 19 for delivery by mid-August. Orders placed after that date will be fulfilled later in the fall.

This program is just one of several actions the state has taken in the last year, building on the state’s existing policies and practices to improve school safety.

Among actions taken by lawmakers in 2018:

In June, IDHS received 390 applications from school corporations for school safety grants. Because of the additional $5 million allocated by the General Assembly during this legislative session, all schools that met grant requirements were approved and will be funded. Those funds, more than $14 million in total, will be put to use for school resource officers, safety equipment and threat assessments. Learn more about the grants at www.in.gov/dhs/securedschoolsafety.htm.

Indiana already has many school safety policies in place. By law, every Indiana school is required to have a school safety plan and every school corporation must have a school safety specialist.

Since 1999, IDOE has hosted a school safety academy to train school safety officers. The

academy is funded through the Safe Haven Grant, which also provides matching grants for prevention programs and school resource officers.

Indiana is just one of five states with a “red flag” law, which allows police officers to confiscate firearms from individuals suspected to be dangerous to themselves or others. Additionally, Indiana State Police offer school officials active shooter training as well as assistance in developing their school security plans, and IDHS provides guidelines for school emergency response systems.

Gov. Holcomb convened a school safety taskforce in April to develop recommendations for action in advance of the 2019 legislative session. Those recommendations are due in August.
