We'll Never Forget

On Wednesday, the calendar once again read September 11. Eighteen years ago, the world changed not just for the Americans who perished that day and their families, but for all people around the world.

It's a day I remember vividly. And it's a day I'll never forget.

And today while we continue to mourn those we lost 18 years ago, my faith that America is the greatest country on Earth is reaffirmed by the stories of heroism that we saw that day, and in the days, months and years that followed.

It's stories of first responders running toward danger, when they knew there was no chance of making it back. It's stories of everyday people like you and me stepping up and helping one another.

I'm so proud to be an American, in part because of this remarkable American spirit. I'll never forget September 11, 2001, and I imagine you never will either.

-Chairman Kyle Hupfer

Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

Japan/Korea 2019:
Taking Indiana to the World & Bringing the World to Indiana!

This week, Governor Holcomb concluded the first round of this month's economic development trips to Asia, where he met with business and government leaders in Japan and South Korea. During Governor Holcomb’s time in Japan he met with leaders of two of Indiana’s largest Japanese companies, Subaru and Honda. Together, those companies (and more than 300 other Japan-based businesses) employ more than 67,000 of Hoosiers!

Governor Holcomb met with executives from Subaru Corporation. Subaru of Indiana Automotive (Lafayette) employs more than 6,000 Hoosiers and has invested over $2.2 billion in its Indiana operations.
Governor Holcomb met with leaders of Honda Motor Company, the parent company of Indiana-based Honda Manufacturing of Indiana (HMIN). HMIN has invested more than $1 billion in its operations in Greensburg and employs more than 2,500 Hoosiers.
Governor Holcomb met with Gunma Governor Ichita Yamamoto to discuss how Indiana can continue to continue to promote future investment opportunities. Gunma prefecture is home to the headquarters of Subaru Corporation.
Governor Holcomb and First Lady Janet Holcomb hosted a Friends of Indiana reception to thank business executives, government officials and industry stakeholders for their many contributions to the Indiana-Japan partnership.

Fall Dinner 2019: Celebrating Our Military

This year's Team Holcomb Fall Dinner is one you won't want to miss! We're excited to welcome Congressmen and combat veterans Jim Baird, Brian Mast and Dan Crenshaw as the event's special guests on October 14 at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis.

These three American heroes have made so many sacrifices in the name of freedom. Of course, we already know Indiana's own Congressman Jim Baird, and you may remember Congressman Crenshaw from when he was unnecessarily mocked on Saturday Night Live, but this trio made national headlines when Congressman Mast's tweet "5 eyes. 5 arms. 4 legs. All American." went viral.

Help us celebrate our military by booking your tickets for the Team Holcomb Fall Dinner now!
