“There are a multitude of leadership programs out there to build the skill sets needed to take our generation to the next level. However, through the ILF, I gained deeper insight into public policy solutions while also building lifelong friendships from across the Hoosier state.”

“ILF provided me more than a political education. It gave me access to long-standing relationships that have been rewarding professionally and personally. I would recommend being a part of the ILF family because it puts you in a circle of influence unlike any other organization I’ve ever joined.”

“Completing the ILF program broadened my network across the state. My classmates represented diverse industries and backgrounds and our paths have continued to cross in the decade since we met. It is a unique learning opportunity with long-lasting connections.”

“The Indiana Leadership Forum taught me the ‘need to knows’ about making a difference in politics and allowed me a chance to meet people that wanted to do the same. As the years have gone on it’s been great to see so many of my classmates go on to do bigger and better things— in large part thanks to the Indiana Leadership Forum.”

“This forum brought together persons from diverse backgrounds who are interested in improving Indiana but did not have the knowledge to do so. We do now.”

“For someone like me who wanted to understand the political process, the ILF provided a solid foundation. Just as importantly, it helped me to network with individuals inside the program as well as with those individuals more established in public service. Finally, through ILF, I created great friendships that last to this day.”

“The ILF provides an excellent opportunity to not only get to know those who are already political leaders in Indiana, but also those that will be leading in the future.”

“The Indiana Leadership Forum was such a formative experience because it introduced me to people and experiences I wouldn’t have otherwise had. The thought-provoking speakers and lasting friendships make it an extraordinarily unique program.”

“Going through ILF was a life changing experience. After completing the program, I was more confident and knowledgeable about the government process. But not only do you gain knowledge, you gain lifelong friends.”
