Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers has informed me that he will be departing the Indiana Economic Development Corporation after fulfilling his two-year commitment of service to the state of Indiana. We agreed to extend his service to ensure a seamless transition related to all various activities currently underway. Sometime following his departure on August 6th, I will decide on the next new leader of the IEDC. In the meantime, I will be focused on all items related to the transition so we can continue and grow the strong momentum Secretary Chambers and his team have helped build to take Indiana to the Next Level.”
