03/25/2019
Moira Carlstedt, who has served as president and CEO of the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership for the past 21 years, was presented with the John L. Krauss Award for Public Policy Innovation by the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IUPUI. The biennial award is given to an individual or entity for applied research or activity that helps the state of Indiana and/or Indiana communities with real-world solutions.
The award is named for IU McKinney alumnus John Krauss, ’76, who founded the Indiana University Public Policy Institute (PPI) in 2008. Krauss was the first recipient of the award, bestowed upon him at his retirement from the institute in 2014. In addition to teaching as an adjunct professor at IU McKinney, Krauss also directed the law school’s “Public Policy Mediation within State Government” course.
