20 Hoosier Banker June 2016 FLD HAPPENINGS About the Author Dax Denton is senior vice president-government relations of the Indiana Bankers Association. He can be reached at 317-917-8047, email: ddenton@indianabankers.org. The Indiana Bankers Association Future Leadership Division gained momentum at the 2016 IBA Mega Conference by convening members and prospective members at a networking reception and by hosting an appreciation dinner for members of the FLD board of directors.* Both events took place the evening of May 4. The networking reception, sponsored by Krieg DeVault LLP, took place at Loughmiller’s Eatery, located across from the Statehouse. A longtime favorite of legislators and political pundits, the location underscored the grassroots engagement of FLD members, representing part of its mission in developing future leaders. The event drew about 25 attendees. Following the networking reception, FLD board members in attendance walked to Spoke & Steele, a downtown Indianapolis restaurant, for an appreciation dinner. Each year during Mega, the IBA hosts a dinner for FLD board members to thank them for their leadership and to deepen board member ties.

This annual gathering in a relaxed setting consistently results in lively conversation and creative ideasharing. Among ideas discussed by FLD board members were plans for upcoming events. In September, the FLD will again host a silent auction for Indiana BANKPAC fundraising at the IBA Annual Convention. Later this fall, the FLD will present its third annual conference, to be held Nov. 2-3 at the Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel in Carmel.
