Former Blackford County economic development leader Jacob Everett joins Indy Partnership as Senior Director of Economic Development
Regional business attraction initiative ramps up as the Indy Chamber pursues ‘Accelerate Indy’ economic strategy
INDIANAPOLIS, April 5, 2017: The Indy Partnership, the business attraction and marketing initiative for the nine-county Indianapolis metro, has hired Jacob Everett – former Executive Director of the Blackford County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) – as a Senior Director of Economic Development. Everett joins a growing team as the Indy Chamber (the Indy Partnership’s parent organization) pursues a more expansive economic development agenda.
Everett comes to the Indy Partnership from a five-year tenure with the Blackford County EDC, where he also served on the East Central Indiana Regional Partnership Board and as President of the East Central Indiana Development Council. Blackford County’s unemployment rate has dropped more than 40% since he took the helm as Executive Director of the EDC in 2012. Previously, he was Director of Planning and Research for the Alliance for Strategic Growth/Eastern Indiana Workforce Investment Board.
“Jacob will be a great asset to the Indy Partnership as we promote our region to employers and investors across the country and around the world,” said Maureen Donohue Krauss, the Indy Chamber’s Chief Economic Development Officer. “He’s led a successful local economic development organization, and also worked within a regional coalition; given our increasing focus on talent, his workforce development experience will be invaluable.”
The Indy Chamber’s Accelerate Indy regional strategy prioritizes issues like an educated, career-ready workforce, an innovative business environment and a competitive quality of life to appeal to growing employers, particularly in high-wage, high-tech industries. It also emphasizes existing business support and retention along with entrepreneurial development as drivers of job creation and new investment. Read more: Indy Chamber

Chamber event: Taste of Ocean Springs tickets on sale now, will go fast
The event is under the oaks at the L&N Depot at the entrance to downtown — the Taste of Ocean Springs Food & Wine Festival.
More than 20 restaurants bring their creations for sampling. People get dressed up for this, even though it’s outdoors.
Tickets just went on sale and are going fast, as always — $50 at the Chamber of Commerce office, 1000 Washington Avenue (in the Depot) or with Chamber board members, while supplies last.
Only 500 will be sold.
The festival will be 6 to 8:30 p.m. May 11.
What you get is a chance to try it all: The best of what Ocean Springs restaurants — the Coast’s dining Mecca — have to offer.
Mayor Connie Moran said she went back to the Vestige table seven times last year for the shrimp in butter sauce. It won the People’s Choice Award.
Attire ranges from business casual to dressy.
“It’s not formal,” said Chamber Executive Director Cynthia Dobbs Sutton, but it’s dressy for Ocean Springs. “We partner with our local retail shops and ask them to decorate their windows with clothing in black, white and red so as people buy their tickets, they see the options of where they can buy their outfit for the event.”
Black, white and red are the colors the Chamber came up with when it started the festival nine years ago. Read more: Sun Herald
