Indiana Secretary of State candidate Vop Osili will be making an appearance in the 4-H Center building on July 16 at 7 p.m.
In June, Osili was selected by state Democratic party delegates to run for the Secretary of State seat.
A graduate of Carnegie Mellon and Columbia University, Osili is a founding partner of an Indianapolis area green architectural design firm. The company has grown from a two-person entity to a thriving enterprise of 30 professionals, designing projects in Indiana and abroad. The quick, sustained growth of Osili's company resulted in his recognition by the Small Business Administration as a "Rising Star" in Indiana.
Osili was appointed to the Indiana Fire and Building Services Commission by Governor Frank O'Bannon. He serves as chairman of the Indianapolis Board of Zoning Appeals, co-chair of the Urban Design Oversight Committee in Marion County, a board member of the United Way of Central Indiana, a board member of the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis and is a trustee of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
He has participated on numerous missions trips to Haiti and other developing countries.
Osili is committed to supporting the Hoosier state's entrepreneurial spirit, expanded job growth, education, mentoring young people and encouraging public service.
Osili and his wife, Una, a professor of economics at IUPUI, are residents of Indianapolis. They have two young children.
