Hoosier State Today

The Indiana Chamber of Commerce is set to host its 35th Annual Awards Dinner on November 13, featuring a keynote address by Chuck Todd, NBC's chief political analyst and former moderator of "Meet the Press." The event will convene top CEOs, business leaders, and public officials from across the state to celebrate achievements in Indiana's business, government, and community sectors.

Chuck Todd, a six-time Emmy® Award-winner who moderated "Meet the Press" from 2014 to 2023, will deliver his speech just one week after the 2024 election. "We look forward to hearing from Chuck Todd following such a pivotal election," said Vanessa Green Sinders, President and CEO of the Indiana Chamber. She added that it is a privilege to have him speak about the current political climate with many Hoosier leaders.

The dinner will be held at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis and is presented by Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield. It will include several statewide honors: Ogletree Deakins Business Leader of the Year, Birch Bayh-Richard Lugar Government Leader of the Year, NextEra Energy Resources Community of the Year (Madison), Yamaha Dynamic Leader of the Year, and a new Young Professional of the Year award. Sinders expressed excitement about unveiling these awards and honoring an emerging leader with this new recognition.
