Lacy Leadership Association - Programs and Events

Behind the Scenes. Ahead of the Curve.

Opportunity Indianapolis is a leadership program designed to give participants an exclusive, behind-the-scenes exploration by bus of our city and significant community issues. Participants interact with city leaders and decision makers throughout the two-day program and discuss how current initiatives impact the quality of life in Indianapolis. More than 700 people have attended Opportunity Indianapolis since its founding in 1985.

OI is ideal for both new residents and longtime community members who are ready to make valuable connections and become more inspired to help shape our city’s vibrant future.

OI and its incredible panel of presenters energized me with a renewed sense of feeling informed and empowered. I want to find new ways to make the city even better. Thanks for offering such a valuable program – I would definitely recommend it. Bill Lovejoy, Borshoff, Opportunity Indianapolis 2007
