After five weeks with the IEDA, Alan Tio has decided to pursue a new opportunity leading business development at the South Bend International Airport. While we're disappointed to see him go, we fully support Alan’s decision and wish him the very best.

This may come as unexpected news, and we want to assure you of the IEDA's unwavering commitment to our mission – empowering our members and driving economic growth across Indiana. The board, along with our dedicated staff, is fully invested in ensuring a smooth transition.

We haven't yet established a specific timeframe for appointing a new executive director. However, we're actively reviewing strong candidates. In the interim, our experienced team will seamlessly continue their outstanding work, guaranteeing ongoing initiatives maintain their momentum.

Transparency and open communication are core values at the IEDA. We know questions might arise, and we encourage you to reach out. Please don't hesitate to contact myself or any board member to share your thoughts or concerns.

The landscape of economic development is brimming with exciting opportunities. While challenges may appear, we will face them head-on, just as we always do, with the strength of our collective effort. Remember, our unity and resilience are the cornerstones of the IEDA spirit. When we stand together, we stand strong.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Erin Schneider
IEDA Board Chair
