“I’m looking forward to collaborating with fellow Chamber board members and staff to help Indiana achieve a bright future,” he shares. “It’s a great place to live, work and run a business, and I’m eager for the upcoming year – and the years ahead.”

He also serves on the Indiana Governor’s Workforce Cabinet and a variety of boards to further help foster talent in the state. Among them: the Ivy Tech Community College Foundation Board; American Technical Education Association Board, Jefferson Community and Technical College Foundation; and Coalition for Career Development Board.

“Paul’s expertise has been critical as we work to enhance workforce development efforts and legislation in the state,” Brinegar remarks. “With education and workforce being the most pressing challenges facing Hoosier businesses today, his leadership will be greatly valued.”
