“Lesley brings talent and experience to a role in which she will help us conduct community outreach and provide constituent services across Indiana,” Hill said. “She knows how to form strategic alliances and maintain positive relationships with people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. I am pleased that she has accepted this opportunity to use her skills for the good of Hoosiers statewide.”

Gordon most recently has worked as deputy director of external affairs for the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. Previously, she has served in communications and community relations roles for the Indiana State Fair Commission, the Indianapolis Department of Parks and Recreation and the Indianapolis Department of Public Works. She is a graduate of Indiana University.

“I’ve always found great reward in public service and connecting with the community,” Gordon said. “This transition to the Office of the Attorney General will allow me enhance that impact, and I look forward to connecting with the wonderfully diverse communities that make Indiana such a great place to work, play, live and grow.”

Gordon begins her new duties on Sept. 4.
