2022 Indiana Good Neighbor Award
Barb Swartley, Goshen
The Indiana Good Neighbor Award recognizes outstanding community service and is accompanied by a $5,000 contribution to the recipient’s chosen cause. This year’s Good Neighbor Award was made possible with the generous financial support of a new presenting sponsor, Ruoff Mortgage. This year’s Indiana Good Neighbor winner is Barb Swartley of Coldwell Banker, Elkhart Board of REALTORS®, for her support of Lacasa, an organization focused on housing stability, affordability and neighborhood development in Elkhart County.
Two Honorable Mention Good Neighbor awards were also presented Monday evening, sponsored by IAR’s Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Donations of $1,000 each were made on behalf of Mike Schultz (Southwest Indiana) for ‘Sleep in Heavenly Peace’ Evansville and Ken Maddin (Southeast Indiana) for The Community Project of Dearborn County.
