COM-People Bredeweg

Longtime municipal government advocate Tom Bredeweg received the 2013 Russell G. Lloyd Distinguished Service Award from the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns on Oct. 7. The award is given to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to local government. Nominees for this prestigious award must display accomplishments beyond their community, including contribution to IACT and public service, leadership and personal initiative.

Bredeweg will retire in November as IACT’s field services manager, following two stints with the organization. Beginning in 1975, Bredeweg spent his first 17 years with IACT wearing many different hats and rising through the ranks. He held roles such as training director, legislative services director, member services director and deputy director. Having covered nearly every department, Bredeweg left Indiana to helm the Iowa League of Cities, where he stayed for 14 years. Upon his 2007 retirement in Iowa, Bredeweg came back to IACT to lead field services efforts and take a leadership role within the organization once again.

“While he’ll be sorely missed, I am so grateful that IACT has been able to benefit from the experience, wisdom and professionalism of Tom Bredeweg for nearly 24 years,” said IACT Executive Director Matt Greller. “Whether assisting on complex public finance matters, police and fire pensions, economic development or educating our membership on the fighting spirit of the Butler Bulldogs, Tom has been nothing but a true asset to all Hoosier cities and towns.”
