Daniel Bradley, president of Indiana State University, has been named to the Indiana Chamber of Commerce board of directors, effective immediately.
As the “Voice of Indiana Business,” the Indiana Chamber is dedicated to providing member companies with numerous cost-saving benefits and timely business information that will enable them to grow their companies. The Chamber represents nearly 5,000 member companies that employ 800,000 Hoosier workers.
Bradley is among the Chamber’s 125 board members who are presidents, CEOs and high-level executives from companies throughout the state.
The Chamber’s board of directors plays a vital role in developing all aspects of the organization’s business advocacy efforts. Members serve on various committees that research key topics and define policy positions for adoption by the entire board each fall. These positions are used by the Chamber’s lobbying team to initiate and evaluate legislation at the Statehouse and in Congress.
Bradley became Indiana State University’s 11th president in July 2008. He previously served as president of Fairmont State University in West Virginia. A veteran of the U.S. Army, Bradley holds a doctorate in physical chemistry.
“Dan’s experience in the sciences and education as well as his role as Indiana State’s president will be a welcomed addition to the Indiana Chamber board. Though still fairly new to the state, he has enthusiastically embraced efforts to further the cause of Indiana business,” says Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar.
Bradley will serve a three-year term as an Indiana Chamber board member that runs through 2012.
The 12th Annual Financial Advisor Symposium was staged in Orlando on Nov. 9-11. Jeff A Spencer, a local investment advisor, took advantage of sessions addressing some of the most pressing issues facing advisors today and how some of the most successful financial advisors are navigating these changing waters. Spencer met and heard renowned economic, investment and practice management experts evaluate the current environment — where we are, where we are going, and how to identify (and profit) from the opportunities that lie ahead.
Some of the topics included “How to Make Money in Tough Times,” “Opportunities in Fixed-Income,” “Global Investing: Where Do We Go from Here,” “The Effect of New and Proposed Regulations on Investment Advisors,” “Foundations of a Super-Cycle or Secular Lows,” “An Introduction to Closed-End Funds,” and “Rethinking Asset Allocation.”
Steve Forbes presented: “The Economic Recovery – How Vigorous Will it Really Be?”
Spencer is the owner of Innsbruck Financial Consultants LLC, a Fee-Only Registered Investment Advisor dedicated to helping clients with comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management, estate planning and insurance needs analysis.
