The Indiana Chamber of Commerce invites Hoosiers to celebrate exceptional leadership and community growth by submitting nominations for its prestigious statewide awards.
Nominations are open through Friday, June 20, with winners to be honored at the Chamber’s 36th Annual Awards Dinner in Indianapolis on November 5.
Vanessa Green Sinders, Indiana Chamber president and CEO, expressed her enthusiasm for the event.
“We’re eager to recognize the impressive recipients that make Indiana such a great place — showcasing Indiana’s brightest is always a highlight of our annual awards dinner,” Sinders said. “There certainly is no lack of worthy individuals and communities around the state so we hope to receive many nominations for our slate of awards.”
The event, presented in partnership with Meijer, will highlight leaders and communities through four distinct awards:
- Ogletree Deakins Business Leader of the Year: Honoring a business leader who exemplifies excellence and impacts their organization and the broader business community through exceptional leadership.
