Travis Richards (right), executive director of Jay County Development Corporation, was honored recently with the East Central Indiana Pathfinder Partnership Award at the East Central Indiana Regional Partnership annual meeting. Trevor Friedeberg (left), president and CEO of the regional partnership, described Richards as an active contributor and voice for small communities who is responsive, thorough, organized, knowledgeable and a “top-notch ambassador for his county.” He “finds ways to forge a path toward regional prosperity even when the path is winding and not entirely stateforward,” Friedeberg said.
