Our board is made up of skilled professionals that care deeply about Indianapolis neighborhoods!

We would like to introduce one of INRC's newest board members.

Stephen Anderson, Group 1001/Gainbridge

"I have always had a passion for bringing different groups of people together to create positive change in the communities where we live, work, and serve. I was drawn to INRC because of its belief that the people closest to a community are often best positioned to identify its opportunities and lead meaningful change.

I look forward to learning from the incredible neighborhood leaders and residents who are already creating positive change and finding ways to help amplify their work. I also hope to leverage my experience in partnerships, storytelling, and bringing diverse stakeholders together to help expand INRC’s reach and impact."
