Two NWI leaders named to Indiana Chamber board

Two Northwest Indiana business leaders have been named to the board of directors of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.

Jim Stanley, recently hired as CEO at NIPSCO, and Mark Chamberlain, CEO of Lakeside Wealth Management of Chesterton, will take their positions on the chamber's policy setting body immediately, according to a statement from the chamber.

“Infusing new leaders and ideas into an organization is what keeps it moving forward," said Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar. "We are excited to welcome Mark and Jim to the board of directors."

Stanley and Chamberlain will each serve a three-year term ending in 2015. The chamber has been a key force in shaping and pushing to passage numerous legislative bills important to business, including Indiana's right-to-work law passed in the last session of the General Assembly.
