The Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the state’s largest business advocacy organization, is ushering in a new chapter.

The Chamber selected Vanessa Green Sinders, a former Fortune 100 executive and veteran policy strategist on the national stage, as the group’s incoming president and CEO.

She will succeed longtime leader Kevin Brinegar, who will retire in early January 2024. The search process was guided by Indianapolis-based Medallion Partners.

Sinders will be the Indiana Chamber’s first female president. She was chosen from a deep pool of candidates from the business, political and trade association worlds, notes Paul Perkins, search committee member and chair of the Indiana Chamber Board of Directors, which approved the hire earlier today.

Indy Politics spoke with Sinders.  You can here the interview in the Leon-Tailored Audio above,
