UAW - CAP, Andrew Durham former Center Township Trustee
My 12 years of experience at Center Township have prepared me to lead with knowledge, compassion, and accountability. I began as a caseworker, working directly with individuals and families during difficult times, and later became a senior caseworker, helping train staff and assisting with complex cases. This experience gave me firsthand knowledge of township government and the needs of our community. My service on the Project Access Board, Leadership Kokomo experience, and work with the Indiana Township Association have further strengthened my leadership skills. I understand that being the Trustee means serving people with dignity while being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars.
My top priorities are providing compassionate and efficient service, protecting taxpayer dollars, and strengthening our community. I want to ensure residents who need assistance are treated with dignity and respect while maintaining accountability and responsible use of township funds. I will focus on improving office efficiency, supporting and developing our staff, and building strong partnerships with local organizations to better connect families with resources. I also want Center Township to be proactive in addressing community needs while remaining transparent, accessible, and fiscally responsible.
