Alan’s nomination was submitted by John Stafford, Director of the Community Research Institute at IPFW and selected by the full time faculty members at IPFW. "It is always a pleasure to witness the professional growth of a former student after they complete their academic work”, stated Stafford, “Alan's contributions to economic development in northeast Indiana and particularly Whitley County have been substantial, especially given the relatively short span of his professional career; The IPFW Department of Public Policy is pleased to recognize Alan's professional achievements as the program's 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient; He most deservedly follows in the line of past recipients as being among the numerous graduates of the program who are making a real difference in the quality of the northeast Indiana community.”
