Your business needs fresh ideas?

The Alliance - A Forum of Indiana Business Leaders

The Alliance was formed in 1990 by a group of mid-sized company leaders and faculty from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.

The Alliance is a membership group of experienced senior decision-makers in privately held, mid-sized companies in Indiana. Members come from companies ranging in size from several million to three hundred million in annual sales revenue.

Our mission is to help the member companies make more money by providing networking opportunities with other senior executives and presenting new ideas for members to consider.

The Alliance - A Forum of Indiana Business Leaders

Organized by faculty members of the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in 1990, the group under the leadership of the board and the executive director, Dr. Daniel W. DeHayes, continues to serve its members.
