Should I use "in good standing" or "of good standing"? [closed]

Solution 1:

"in good standing"

This refers to a person or company. It doesn't refer outside of itself, i.e. someone is not in good standing relative to something else, except perhaps the law or a set of rules.

"of good standing in"

This person stands well in comparison to their community and is well-regarded in their community.

You need version 2.
