Join us for the September Luncheon!

Program — The Health Care Debate: Indianapolis in the center of it all

As our nation continues a very intense and involved debate about how our nation’s healthcare system, two of Indiana’s two largest companies and their corporate communications leaders find themselves on the front lines.

WellPoint and Eli Lilly and Company are engaged in a historic public relations challenge that could continue to drive policy and business decisions that not only affect their employees, customers and partners, but also their peers within the insurance and pharmaceutical sectors.

In September, the highest-ranking leaders from each company’s communications departments will discuss how they are managing the public relations challenges their companies are facing during the national health care debate.

Bart Peterson, Senior Vice President Corporate Affairs and Communications at Eli Lilly, and David Palombi, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at WellPoint, will discuss how their teams have developed and maintained their companies’ messages and strategy throughout the debate and delivered them internally and externally.

In addition, Mr. Peterson will share how he successfully transitioned from being Indianapolis’ mayor to a leadership position in public relations.
