Stanley K. Lacy Executive Leadership Series




The Stanley K. Lacy Executive Leadership Series (SKL) is a program of the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce designed to help emerging community leaders become more informed about the issues and needs facing central Indiana, more motivated to get involved in addressing those issues, more connected and more effective in their service to our community.
