Retirement plans took care of tomorrow. Personal wealth was something employees largely built on their own, outside the workplace. Now, that line has blurred.
The current edition of BizVoice® also contains several additional features. They include:
On the Fast Track: As demand grows for bachelor’s degrees completed in three years, programs that pair classroom learning with real-world experience are now taking wing.

Shining Region: Behold the beauty, businesses and partnerships at the heart of five Indiana counties: Cass, Fulton, Miami, Pulaski and Wabash. Scenic rivers, economic success and a commitment to philanthropy are among the collective qualities that attract residents and tourists. See what makes them unique and what’s on the horizon.

The Indiana Chamber’s Natalie Goodwin reflects on the successful key vehicles for this effort in the 2026 Indiana General Assembly: Senate Bills 212 and 243.
