Gov. Mitch Daniels has presented civic leader and former Lincoln National Corp. Chairman Ian Rolland of Fort Wayne with the 2012 Sachem Award, the state's highest honor.
Daniels said at a ceremony Wednesday at the State House that Rolland has led "the sort of life you'd like your kids to emulate. He has constantly searched for the right thing to do and then done it."
The Sachem is given annually to recognize a lifetime of excellence and moral virtue that has brought credit and honor to Indiana. Previous recipients include college basketball coaching legend John Wooden, philanthropist Bill Cook, civic leader and former Major Leaguel pitcher Carl Erskine, and the Reverend Theodore Hesburgh, president emeritus of the University of Notre Dame.
