New Tourism Award in Honors Will Koch, Recognizes Tourism Leadership in Indiana
Indianapolis IN (Vocus) November 30, 2010
The Indiana Office of Tourism Development and the Koch family announce the creation of the Will Koch Indiana Tourism Leadership Award. Nominations are currently being sought through January 10, 2011.
The new award is named for the late Will Koch, long-time owner and president of Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari and chief executive officer of its parent company, Koch Development Corporation. It celebrates and pays tribute to Koch’s business and philanthropic achievements, recognizes outstanding accomplishments in economic and community development through tourism and showcases the important role tourism plays in a diversified economy.
“Will Koch worked tirelessly to make Indiana a wonderful place to live and visit,” said Lt. Governor Becky Skillman. “It is fitting to recognize exceptional partners in the tourism business community with an award dedicated to a great man and true leader.”
An award will be given annually to a deserving Hoosier who demonstrates the following qualities:
Strong leadership and an ability to inspire others;
Entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to invest in Indiana;
Commitment to tourism and business development in Indiana;
Dedication to improve Indiana’s travel and tourism profile; and
Distinguished service to community.
“We are touched by the opportunity to commemorate my brother’s devotion to his life’s work and his lasting impact on the State of Indiana,” said Dan Koch, the park’s new president. “It is comforting to know his legacy will live on through the meaningful work of fellow Hoosiers.”
Nomination forms are available on the Office of Tourism’s industry-focused website, tourism.IN.gov. Completed forms and required documents are due by 4 pm EST on January 10, 2011. The Indiana Office of Tourism Development will work with the Koch family and a group of representatives from the tourism industry to review nominations and select a winner. The award will be presented during the Hoosier Hospitality Conference in March.
About Will Koch:
Born and raised in Santa Claus, Koch graduated from Notre Dame University and received his master’s degree from the University of Southern California. Under his leadership, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari have become an award-winning destination with annual visitation exceeding one million per year. The park’s economic impact on Spencer County is $ 161.7 million. Koch also served as president of the Lincoln Boyhood Drama Association, which worked with the State of Indiana to reopen the Lincoln Amphitheatre in 2009 with a new drama honoring the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. In addition, he helped initiate and lead a grassroots campaign to “Save Indiana Summers” and address the effects of an ever-earlier school start date. He passed away in June 2010 at age 48.
About Indiana’s tourism industry:
Tourism is a big industry comprised of many small businesses that provide positive and significant contributions to Indiana’s economy. Annual spending from more than 62 million visitors exceeds $ 10 billion in Indiana. The industry generates more than $ 1 billion in local and state tax collections from visitor expenditures. It also creates one in 10 jobs and employs approximately 257,000 Hoosiers.
Lt. Governor Becky Skillman oversees the Indiana Office of Tourism Development. Amy Vaughan serves as the agency’s Director.

Delphi decided to close up shop here in the Great Lakes state while protecting jobs in Indiana and New York. To-date, Michigan has lost 315800 jobs since Jennifer Granholm took office in 2003. Michigan has the highest unemployment rate in the nation and one of the highest foreclosure rates. A story in December 9, 2008′s edition of the Detroit Free Press claims the Michigan recession extends beyond manufacturing jobs and is affecting EVERY sector in Jennifer Granholm’s economy.

Northeast Indiana to Cultivate Foreign Investment from European Countries
Northeast Indiana to Cultivate Foreign Investment from European Countries
Fort Wayne, IN (Vocus) November 11, 2010
Fort Wayne, Ind., November 10, 2010 – Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership (NEIRP) is traveling through Europe from Nov. 8 to Nov. 19. United Kingdom and German corporations, which have invested more than $ 15 billion in Indiana over the years, will be the target for the trip.
The repeated presence of Northeast Indiana in Europe represents a concerted effort to continue with the foreign development strategy of the organization in the face of global competitiveness. Dale Buuck, director of business development at NEIRP, will travel to Europe for the trade mission to cultivate relationships and present information about Indiana to potential investors.
“In Northeast Indiana, we have high-level expertise in specific industry clusters in which we excel,” Buuck said. “Without meeting European investors and showing them that expertise, they won’t understand their potential for success in Indiana within those industries.”
Through the London office of Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), Buuck will present on the advanced manufacturing and the defense industries to United Kingdom investors. From the UK, Buuck will travel through Germany to Munich and Dusseldorf with help from the IEDC Berlin office. The conversations and presentations in Germany will focus on life sciences and medical device industries. Also participating in the trip will be the Indy Partnership, the Indiana Health Industry Forum, Bose McKinney & Evans and Baker & Daniels.
The European trade mission is occurring while Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels travels to Asia on a similar economic development trade mission with Indiana representatives including NEIRP president and CEO John Sampson.
About the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership: Created in 2006, the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership’s mission is to market the 10-county region and team with local economic development organizations (LEDOs) to bring new jobs and commercial investment to the area. NEIRP’s global marketing efforts will be on behalf of LEDOs in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties. http://www.chooseneindiana.com

Indiana Divorce Records Online
Indiana Divorce Records Online
Those files that tell about several marriages that fell apart are most commonly maintained by the states in either state or local level. These are managed in a state repository if it’s in a state level and at the local county courthouse if it’s in a local level. However, if you wished to gather information on Indiana Divorce Records, it is recommended that you start at the local courthouse where the petition was filed. If you didn’t find it there, then your next move will be to conduct a search by county or search at the state repository.
The personal particulars of the involved couple, the date when it was filed and finalized, the county where the petition was submitted, a certificate number, and the wife’s maiden name are the usual content of this file. If you’re planning to retrieve this report, it would be great if you’d be able to provide more important details about your subject so that the process is guaranteed to be easier and not complicated.
Law enforcers, such as attorneys, consider this information as very beneficial for them. That’s because through this, they’re able to obtain more relevant information concerning their clients or even the opposition. Not only them; this file can likewise benefit even those common people. It is a helpful tool to conduct a background check on several people, like a future spouse, a friend, neighbour, or anyone, and find out if they’ve been true to their words all this time.
The same information is also essential in providing security for yourself and your loved ones. It makes it possible for you to easily distinguish a trustworthy individual from the one who just pretend to be. It makes you become aware of the truth behind one’s previous marriages and divorces and find out if the person lied to you about those stories. At the present time, service providers are already accessible online. The only thing that you must do in order to obtain the best type of report is to trust only those fee-based services.
If there’s something that stands as a proof to your legal separation with someone, it is the Divorce Decree that will be given to you by the court that conducted the entire proceeding. It is further confirmed by the judge’s and the court clerk’s signatures with the exact date. Normally, it is the court clerk’s or your attorney’s job to mail you your copy of this file. However, if you didn’t happen to receive one, then make a request at the court clerk’s office.
Some of the things that will be mentioned in this document are the five common issues that the ex-partners must attend to once they got separated. One of the issues is regarding alimony. The rest include property division, custody, visitation, and child support. These are the important things that each party is held responsible for.
