When did the phrase “Indiana. Where Champions are Crowned.” become a staple of Indianapolis? It started in 1979 with the formation of Indiana Sports Corp, the first sports commission in the country. Its current president, Ryan Vaughn, shares his story and the story of Indiana Sports Corp with us over alcohol-less beers. The Indianapolis-native realized that after a lifetime of pursuing law, he needed two things to be successful. One, to be busy. And two, to be of service to the community. At 27, Ryan was on the City Council and began working in politics until 2014 when Allison Melangton called him about the open presidential position at Indiana Sports Corp. After accepting her offer, Ryan quickly acclimated to how sports, politics, and current events are intertwined when only a few months in he was fighting to promote the Final Four through the RFRA controversy. Today, Ryan is busy with the #INthegame campaign, which is the observance and celebration of twenty substantial sporting events in Indianapolis over the next two years, and supporting the city on twelve different boards. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you with Ryan Vaughn from Indianapolis Sports Corp.
