FORT WAYNE — David Findlay, president and chief executive officer of Lake City Bank, and Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer have been elected as officers to the Regional Opportunities Council, the investor board of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership.

Findlay was among those elected to the governing board’s 2016 executive committee. He will serve as secretary. Thallemer was elected to the 2016-1029 governing board.

The ROC, comprised of more than 100 regional leaders, oversees the Vision 2020 initiative and elects the Partnership’s Governing Board. The Governing Board is responsible for providing strategic leadership oversight to the Partnership’s operations and fiscal matters.

As we continue to increase business investment in the region, we will look to these regional leaders to build on our region’s bold vision with grit and determination,” said John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership.
