Evansville, Indiana – During this year’s Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration, 

Governor Eric Holcomb honored six African American community leaders selected for achievements in entrepreneurship, education, health and wellness, civil rights, and youth leadership. These awards recognized some of the state’s unsung heroes who have made significant contributions to increasing collaboration and understanding between all Hoosiers. 

At the 2021 Governor’s Reception on July 12, 2021 in Indianapolis, Indiana, Rick Moore was presented with the Reverend Charles Williams Award for achievements that have stood the test of time and left a lasting legacy and positive impact on the community.

Rick also has significant experience with neighborhood groups and civic associations and has been extensively involved with local, state, and federal agencies and their authorities.

His professional and community affiliations include the following: National Association of Housing and Redevelopment (NAHRO) Board of Ethics and Credentialing Trustee; North Central Regional Council of NAHRO Board of Directors; Indiana Chapter of NAHRO Former President and Vice-President; Housing Authority Insurance Group Strategic Capital Solutions Board Committee
