“Governor Braun believes Indiana’s children are our future and his support for DCS and our work is critical to protecting our most vulnerable. I am grateful the Governor has appointed me to this leadership role and am confident we will do great things together to serve Indiana’s families,” shared Dorfmeyer.
“It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve Hoosier children and families in Governor Braun's administration. This work has been deeply personal, and I am proud of the work our team has done and will continue to do on a daily basis for Indiana's most vulnerable. I am grateful to Governor Braun for the opportunity to continue serving Indiana by transitioning into a new role as special advisor to the Governor on child welfare related matters,” said Krupp. “Indiana's children deserve a system that is stable, compassionate, and relentlessly focused on their well-being; I look forward to being part of that vision moving forward.”
