IFI Welcomes Tom Shevlot to the Board!
I’m pleased to announce that a new member has joined IFI’s Board of Directors! We’re excited to welcome Tom Shevlot to the team – a respected friend and Indiana business leader.
Tom was born in Indianapolis and raised in Hancock County. He graduated from Taylor University with a B.A. and earned a graduate degree in finance and economics. He spent 25 years in executive positions with AT&T and Comcast, eventually leaving the corporate world to answer God’s call to accept the CEO role of one of the largest pregnancy resource centers in Indiana – Life Centers – which he retired from in 2024. He has been married for over 40 years and has two children and one grandson.
“Having spent decades protecting the values of Hoosier families, protecting the life of the unborn, and supporting policies that help Hoosiers protect their God-given rights, I’m thrilled to join the board of an organization that puts Indiana families as a priority,” Tom shared.

“As the Chairman of the Indiana Family Institute, I’m so pleased to welcome Tom Shevlot to the IFI board. His years of dedicated leadership in Indiana’s pro-life movement will shed invaluable light on how IFI can continue advocating for the unborn and supporting women facing crisis pregnancies,” IFI Board Chairman Curt Smith said.
Tom has a long history of dedication to faith, family, and freedom here in the Hoosier state. He has been a business leader, public servant, and ministry partner. I’ve had the privilege of working with Tom for many years as he faithfully and expertly built Life Centers up to better accomplish their goal of ministering to women in crisis. His commitment to Jesus, innocent babies in and out of the womb, and vulnerable Hoosiers is inspiring, and I’m so excited to welcome him to the Board of the Indiana Family Institute. Together, we will help create an environment in Indiana where families can flourish.
