Governor Mitch Daniels appointed Indiana University Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris to serve on the Indiana Automotive Council (IAC) - a newly formed group of automotive experts to enhance, grow, and promote the automotive industry in Indiana. This group met for the first time on Wednesday, August 31, to begin discussions on specific action items including how to strengthen the competitiveness of the state in the global automotive marketplace. The ultimate goal is to stimulate long-term job creation and capital investment and to make Indiana known as the automotive state of tomorrow.
