INDIANAPOLIS – Marian President Daniel J. Elsener has been named to the Indianapolis Business Journal's 2024 Indiana Top 250 for the second time.
IBJ Media released its third-annual Indiana 250 in July 2024. The list includes the state’s most influential and impactful business and community leaders, representing public and private companies, law firms, universities, not-for-profits, government and community organizations.
The list, available at https://www.indiana250.com/2024 includes nearly 70 names that are new from last year. IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman said that’s evidence that the people making an impact in Indiana are always growing and changing.
“It’s hard to choose just 250 people from among the thousands who work every day to make Indiana a better place to live and to work,” Feltman said. “But we believe the people on the Indiana 250 list are especially worthy of distinction. They are thinking big and driving change.”
The list was compiled by the executives, editors and newsroom staffs at IBJ Media’s three news brands — Indianapolis Business Journal, Inside INdiana Business and Indiana Lawyer — after a monthslong process that included reviewing nominations, researching Indiana organizations and talking with community leaders across the state.
President Elsener won the renowned award in 2022 and this year 2024.The prestigious announcement also includes Marian Board of Trustees members Jeffrey Harrison, Mike Petrie, and Fernanda Beraldi. Read more about President Elsener and our board members by visiting Indiana250.com.
