I read Maggie Phelps’ recent In the Workplace column [Let’s become better-quality volunteers, Jan. 4] with great interest. Although she briefly touched upon a not-for-profit’s responsibility, I do not think she presented the case impartially by looking through the eyes of the volunteer. I have volunteered repeatedly for very worthy causes—from the Pan Am games […]
How the New York collapse transpired was unique to that location and those facts, but it provides a meaningful lesson for the Hoosier state.
This is the fourth year Indiana’s legislators have been asked to enact a bias-crimes bill. As proponents have pointed out, ours is one of only five states without such a law. As the business community has testified, the impression that Indiana is a state unfriendly to minorities—an impression that “went viral” during Gov. Mike Pence’s […]

Last fall's state-commissioned report on Indiana’s tourism industry was upbeat, declaring “there is no single overt or monstrous problem that needs to be solved within the state’s tourism framework.” That’s the nature of state reports—no one wants to cast aspersions on the gains achieved by managers and rank-and-file employees in the state’s Office of Tourism […]
Americans are more divided on political issues today than at any time since the Civil War. This makes the Feb. 20 U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Timbs v. Indiana a breath of fresh air.
Everyone needs a financial plan, but not everyone needs a financial adviser. At times, it is OK to go it alone, and other times you could benefit from sound advice from a fiduciary adviser.
Next year’s hoops smorgasbord will be unlike anything the city has ever seen.
You can breathe a sigh of relief now. We’ve made it to the midpoint of the 2019 session without serious evidence of bad faith, bad legislation or bad weather ahead. That portends well for an efficient and effective session benefiting all Hoosiers. Until it doesn’t. Yes, typically something does arise in the final third of […]
The suit charges that accepting the deposits at a time HHGregg’s tailspin cast doubt on its ability to provide the merchandise saddled the company “with tens of millions of dollars in unwarranted and unnecessary liabilities and recklessly caused the permanent destruction of the company’s value as a going concern.”
Working as a brand strategist for several years, my role was dedicated to not only helping brands map out their strategy, but also teaching them what a strategy is, what it’s not, and why it matters so much. I’d have to explain how a strategy is an informed plan of action intended to meet a […]
We welcome you but won’t worship you nor give you everything you want.
the only risk-less option giving you immediate access to your funds is a traditional bank savings account earning essentially 0 percent interest. Or is it?
Lawrence North field loaded with four state championship contenders.
U.S. companies operating in foreign lands are still bound by U.S. laws, and U.S. laws can create a significant competitive disadvantage in certain circumstances.
Since shaming isn’t Gov. Eric Holcomb’s style and social conservatives have their message heard clearly in the House, the governor’s options for persuading House Republicans to amend the hate crimes bill are limited.
“Township schools must receive reform, too,” by Marshawn Wolley. “Let’s talk about teacher pay,” by Abdul-Hakim Shabazz. “Get serious about funding public schools,” by Glenda Ritz. All printed in IBJ’s Feb. 8 issue of Forefront. So much talk and where does it end? Many expenses are duplicated in nine townships school systems on buildings, maintenance […]
I could sum up my disgust after reading Pierre Atlas’ IBJ column [“It’s about how you play the game,” Feb. 8] in a single sentence, but then I would be discounted as just another “Trumper.” Donald Trump had no reason to take this job, except for the fact that the country was moving toward socialism […]
Alice—an acronym for asset-limited, income-constrained and employed—is the waitress, busboy, hotel housekeeper, repairman and similar individuals who work but live paycheck-to-paycheck.
The bottom line is that we have a responsibility as parents and leaders in business, community and school to come together to help all young people understand the myriad careers available to them in their own back yard.
