Governor’s Action Plan to Combat Drug Abuse Unveiled
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Executive Director for Drug Treatment, Prevention and Enforcement Jim McClelland presented Governor Eric J. Holcomb’s strategic approach to attacking the state’s drug epidemic at a meeting of the Commission to Combat Drug Abuse today.
View the entire meeting online at https://indiana.adobeconnect.com/pv16qqtu34ma/.
“This framework and action plan reflect months of partnership with diverse stakeholders and research on Indiana’s drug crisis,†McClelland said. “While much work remains, this plan is a critical first step in meeting Gov. Holcomb’s charge to attack our drug epidemic and its devastating effects on Hoosier lives.â€
Key Principles:
- Data Driven: Data will inform all systems and programs created for government, individuals, families and providers—evolving as learning increases and as Indiana’s drug crisis changes.
- Comprehensive and Holistic: Indiana’s approach will be multi-faceted and focused on substance abuse prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery and enforcement.
- Collaborative: The state will align and focus the efforts of multiple state agencies that currently provide substance abuse services and resources. Further, Indiana’s approach makes clear that local communities, state officials, and the federal government must all have a stake in helping overcoming the drug crisis.
Major Strategies:
- Reduce the incidence of substance abuse disorder.
- Reduce additional harm that can result from substance abuse.
- Improve treatment of people with substance abuse disorder.
- Develop and support the ability of the executive director for drug prevention, treatment and enforcement to serve stakeholders—including those with substance abuse disorders, their families, service providers, and units of government.
- Support and enhance substantial community-based collaborations aimed at prevention, treatment and recovery.
The commission also heard reports and presentations by agency leaders and medical experts.
Read Gov. Holcomb’s full strategic approach to addressing substance abuse in Indiana as well as an action plan to guide efforts for the rest of 2017.
The Commission to Combat Drug Abuse was created by the General Assembly in 2016. Governor Holcomb created the new position of executive director for drug treatment, prevention and enforcement by executive order his first day in office. Attacking the drug epidemic is one of Gov. Holcomb’s top priories to take Indiana to the next level.

Vectren Announces Key Leadership Changes
Vectren Announces Key Leadership Changes

As part of the company’s ongoing succession planning, today Vectren Corporation (NYSE: VVC) Chairman, President and CEO Carl Chapman announced organizational changes that will transition a number of key vice presidents into new roles and name a new senior vice president to better coordinate activities related to the customer experience. Approved by the company’s Board of Directors on May 16, 2017, these changes will be effective June 1, 2017.
Vectren’s vice president of customer experience, Dan Bugher, will be promoted to senior vice president of customer experience where he retains his current oversight of Vectren’s contact center and revenue management teams and also assumes oversight of marketing and communications, information technology, and industrial sales and economic development. The organizational shift effectively aligns all the departments that primarily touch Vectren’s utility customers, whether through technology enhancements or directly through services and programs. Bugher will begin reporting directly to Rick Schach, Vectren’s executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Jim Francis, vice president of safety and system integrity, will assume the role of vice president of human resources, and Ellis Redd, current vice president of human resources, will assume the vice president of safety and system integrity position. Francis will report to Schach, and Redd will report to Jon Luttrell, senior vice president of utility operations and president of Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc.
Misty Seaton, vice president, controller and assistant treasurer, will transition into the vice president of corporate audit role. She takes over that responsibility from Patrick Edwards who previously had moved to the vice president and treasurer position. These rotations allow David Bowler, director of corporate services, systems management and reporting, to be promoted to vice president, controller and assistant treasurer to assume oversight of the company’s accounting functions. Seaton will report directly to the Audit and Risk Management Committee Chair of the Board of Directors with a dotted line to Ron Christian, executive vice president and chief legal and external affairs officer. Edwards and Bowler will report to Susan Hardwick, executive vice president and chief financial officer.
The vice president of customer energy solutions, Robbie Sears, will become vice president of energy solutions and planning, where he will continue to report to Schach and focus on revenue and growth opportunities and technology innovation execution and assume oversight of strategic planning functions for Vectren’s utilities.
“These changes ensure the continued development of our management team to effectively prepare our company for continued growth and success, including vice presidential rotation opportunities that broaden these individuals’ business acumen and operations experience,†said Chapman. “Likewise, the promotions in our utility operations group ensure we remain focused on improving our customers’ experiences at every touch point.â€
