Engage Indiana

This year, at our Engage Indiana event, we will convene Indiana’s C-suite executives, community leaders and business professionals to hear from Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers and a distinguished panel on how companies can take their engagement to the next level to help attract talent and work toward place making—two key priorities for the state’s READI grant program.

Includes the presentation of Indianapolis Business Journal’s 2021 Michael A. Carroll Award.

INSPIRE your businesses to a new way of thinking about the importance of community engagement within your organization,

BUILD revenue while simultaneously making communities across our state more vibrant; and,

ENGAGE alongside Indiana’s business community as we establish ourselves as a national leader in utilizing corporate social responsibility principles to attract and build businesses, retain high-quality talent and strengthen our communities.
