I’m new to the Indiana Connection team, so I recently met everyone on staff who works to produce the magazine each month — and I thought you might enjoy getting to know a bit about them, too. Over the next few issues, you’ll learn more about each person, their role and why they’re so important to the team.

First up is Holly Huffman, who has been part of the magazine for nearly 17 years! Take it away, Holly: 

I have a varied role. On the communication side, I work on Indiana Connection designing and editing pages; coordinate social media for both the magazine and its publisher; perform website updates; and other tasks. On the events side, I help coordinate events at our office and at off-site venues. I also manage the facilities at our office. I love the variety of my job — no day is ever the same!

Three facts about Holly:

• I grew up in Gaston, Indiana, where my family is located. I currently reside on the northside of Indianapolis. I’m the “black sheep” who moved to the big city! 
• I graduated from Ball State University with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in public relations. I am also a Certified Cooperative Communicator (CCC) through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
• I LOVE coffee! I MUST have my daily cup (well … maybe two) to get the day going. My favorite Starbucks order is a skinny vanilla latte. 

If you’ve ever met Holly, you know: She’s a true gem.
