The Marilyn K. Glick Women’s Enrichment Series closes the season with a powerful, personal, and timely fireside conversation about women’s leadership at the intersection of community, strategy, and high-impact public moments.
Moderating the evening is Andrea Watts, a civic communications and engagement leader whose work centers on connecting people and partners to build healthier, more equitable communities. With deep experience in stakeholder engagement and public-facing strategy, Andrea brings an essential lens to a conversation about whose voices are heard—and how leadership shows up when it matters most.
In dialogue with Andrea:
Sarah Myer (Indiana Sports Corp) will reflect on leadership that looks beyond the spotlight—asking not only how to host world-class events, but what those moments can unlock for a city when approached with purpose and long-term vision.
Luisa Lopez (Downtown Indy Alliance) brings a community engagement perspective rooted in partnership, momentum-building, and the truth that meaningful work requires a village—at home, at work, and across a community.
Together, they will explore:
Mentorship and sponsorship—and how they inspire action
Knowing your worth, and recognizing when it’s your season to evolve
Leading in male-dominated rooms and advocating for women not present
Why major moments and civic progress are always a community effort
How elevating women’s voices strengthens Indianapolis
This finale is designed to feel intimate and real: a conversation about courage, clarity, and leadership that doesn’t just create events—it creates impact.
A New Chapter Begins
During the evening, we will also announce the 2026 theme and reveal our transition to a calendar-year schedule for the Marilyn K. Glick Women’s Enrichment Series.
This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter — one that builds on a decade of powerful conversations while expanding our reach and impact in the years ahead.
