(INDIANAPOLIS) — Rebecca Patrick, with more than 18 years of experience with the organization, will become senior vice president of communications at the Indiana Chamber of Commerce effective August 1.
A Knightstown native and IUPUI graduate, Patrick joined the Chamber in May 2003 after working in communications positions in Indiana and New York City. An avid sports fan, she also served as senior writer/editor for a winter sports magazine.
Patrick has been involved in all aspects of communications for one of the largest state chambers in the country – focusing on public relations, media outreach and public policy communications. She has also served as managing editor and writer for the award-winning BizVoice® magazine.
“Rebecca was the consensus choice for this role,” says Kevin Brinegar, Indiana Chamber president and CEO. “Her strong knowledge of all aspects of the organization will allow for effective outreach to our members, the broader business community, government leaders and other stakeholders.”
In addition, Anthony Schoettle has joined the organization as director of communications. A longtime reporter with the Indianapolis Business Journal, he has earned multiple awards for his storytelling ability on a wide range of business topics. Schoettle is a graduate of Southport High School and Indiana University.
Tom Schuman, senior vice president of communications who began his career at the Indiana Chamber in 1998, is retiring effective July 30.
