Dr. Frank has been involved with the Hoosier Environmental Council since 2007 having served on their Board of Directors, as a volunteer, and eventually joining as their Director of Environmental Health and Water Policy in 2014. During her time at Hoosier Environmental Council, she was instrumental in expanding their environmental health program and was a well- known face at the Indiana Statehouse. Her passion for water and environmental health could be felt near and far as she built coalitions to advance important water policies.

In the announcement for Dr. Frank’s retirement, Hoosier Environmental Council said, “She has spent 20 years working in these crucial program areas, including nearly 10 as HEC staff, and 6 years as a board director… We are sad to see her go but wish her the very best on her well- deserved retirement. Thank you, Indra, for all you’ve done and for your dedication to our Hoosier environment and making Indiana a better place to live!”

Dr. Frank continues to work for Hoosier Environmental Council on a part-time remote basis on coal ash issues as she enjoys her partial retirement to the west coast. We wish her the best in her retirement and hope she enjoys the sandy shores and ocean waters of California with her family.
