The Sagamore of Wabash recognizes individuals who have devoted their time and service towards the state and its heritage. Wilson is recognized for his dedication to advancing civil rights in Indiana and his commitment to equal access and opportunity. 

Prior to his role at ICRC, Wilson had a longstanding public service career, including community engagement and special assistant roles for Gov. Eric Holcomb. Wilson’s previous roles involved developing and growing relationships with local, state and federal officials, growing engagement efforts with community leaders and increasing collaboration with state agency representatives.

Wilson also served eight years as the director for the Department of Minority and Veteran owned Business Development under Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. In this role, Wilson advised on economic issues, worked closely with minority, women and veteran-owned small businesses and increased training, networking and outreach provided them. 

Wilson was honored in 2011 with a Champion of Diversity Award and in 2013 was named an Indianapolis Choice Visionary Award winner for his work with women-owned businesses.
