BizVoice/Indiana Chamber – September/October 2014
Admission: I’ve never bet on a horse race in my life.
Observation: But if I did, I would certainly stay away from
a trifecta – selecting the top three finishers in their exact
order. While there might be a nice payoff at the end for a
fortunate few, the odds are simply too long.
But I can comfortably tackle a
BizVoice
®
trifecta – always a
winning bet. And the order we’ll go by is chronological.
We’re pleased to adjust our normal deadlines for this
September-October issue to help deliver the stories of the 27
organizations being recognized in the Indiana Companies
to Watch program. We also have a one-on-one interview with Dennis Miller, the
featured entertainment at the Indiana Chamber’s 25th Annual Awards Dinner. I’m sure
you’ll learn a few things you didn’t already know about the versatile performer and
commentator.
Annual award winners, of course, will be the focus of the November-December
edition, debuting at the November 6 event. We’ll have profiles of the Business Leader,
Government Leader and Community of the Year, as well as top Chamber volunteers.
Cornerstone Partners and long-time member companies will also be highlighted.
Normally, we would stop with the perfecta (choosing the top two in order in the horse
racing world), but the January-February 2015
BizVoice
promises to be the most unique –
and important – in the magazine’s 16-year-plus history. Stories will be focused around
the premise that all areas of the state must thrive to meet the
Indiana Vision 2025
goals.
We will tell success stories while also taking an honest, hard-hitting look at our state’s
economic landscape. We’ll strive to break down any metro-rural barriers in many of
the articles. Indiana leaders, and authorities from outside the state, will offer valuable
opinions and insights.
I truly believe every
BizVoice
offers valuable information and analysis. But the first issue
of 2015 is definitely not one to miss – for organizations looking to advertise about how
they contribute to the state’s economic success and for you, our loyal readers.
