Board Chair ( 2024-25 )
As the incoming Board Chair , I am not only excited to share and celebrate the accomplishments of which One Southern Indiana has been a part for the last 12 months , but also to share what the One Southern Indiana Board will focus on for the upcoming 2024-2025 year .
This last year included several huge accomplishments , from hiring the new President and CEO , to celebrating our first billion-dollar year of new projects through economic development . Additionally , the team has welcomed over 160 new members and hosted over 200 events !
We welcomed Lance Allison , the new President and CEO , in March of 2024 and have been delighted to work and support him as he transitioned into the role and immersed himself into 1si and its impact within the region . Lance has wonderful ideas for 1si , and we as the Board look forward to working with him to incorporate those into the organization . It should be noted that during the interim period without a President and CEO our incredible staff continued to thrive , not maintaining status quo but moving things forward in many areas .
As the Board looks to the upcoming year , there are several areas where we intend to focus and explore opportunities to elevate . The first being 1si ’ s strategic plan . This was originally a goal for the past year , but the Board found itself in the position of conducting an intense search to ensure a new CEO and President was in place before beginning the important work of updating an innovative , new strategic plan . As a Board , we are looking forward to soliciting member and community input as we set out goals and priorities for the immediate future .
The Board also looks forward to working with Lance and the 1si staff to elevate and update programming for several areas . Our business resources team is a group of dedicated individuals who want the best for members and investors , and working alongside them to ensure they have the support they need to make those changes is important to us as a Board .
In last year ’ s Board Chair letter , Bryan Wickens mentioned how change can be hard , but change also allows for new opportunities . I could not be more excited to see where the organization will go and what it will accomplish this upcoming year . I look forward to working with the 1si staff and rest of the Board to make next year one of the best ones yet .
Sincerely ,
Cathy Scrivner Louisville Water Co .
