Submitted

Lieutenant Governor-elect Micah Beckwith and Governor-elect Mike Braun have announced Fred Glynn as the newly appointed Director of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).

As director, Glynn will lead the agency as it works with local, state, and national partners to provide assistance and resources to help all communities meet their goals in economic growth and community development. The incoming administration continues to emphasize the importance of balance between service to the public and success in the private sector.

“Fred is the perfect combination,” Beckwith said. “It takes a resilient and determined person to succeed in the corporate world, but it takes a selfless, genuine person to willingly give that up to serve their community. Fred checks both boxes, which makes him an excellent choice, and I look forward to collaborating with him in the future.”

Prior to his appointment to OCRA, Glynn worked as a true Hoosier entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in both business and finance. His emphasis on practical and innovative solutions gave him a leg up and helped numerous Indiana-based companies thrive.

Despite his private sector success, Glynn primarily focuses on giving back to his community and assisting in the betterment of Indiana. He has also served Hamilton County as a councilman.

“I appreciate the confidence Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith has placed in me for this pivotal role,” Glynn said. “I look forward to working on bringing a more interactive experience with local government agencies, and a more streamlined process to OCRA for the betterment of our communities across the state of Indiana.”
