We don’t do our jobs just to be given a pat on the back, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a little recognition for hard work. The Indiana Chamber’s communications team recently earned accolades, in the form of four awards for work completed in 2017, from the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists.

The staff of the Indiana Chamber’s bimonthly business magazine, BizVoice®, brought home three second-place awards and a third-place award in the annual statewide competition, highlighting the best and brightest of Indiana journalism.

Stories and writers earning awards include:

• 2^nd place – Medical Reporting package: Telehealth clinics (Rebecca Patrick); Springbuk (Tom Schuman); pharmacy robots (Matt Ottinger)
• 3^rd place – Environmental Reporting package: Solar power (Charlee Beasor); Battery storage (Ottinger); recycling efforts (Symone Skrzycki)
• 2^nd place – Non-Deadline Story or Series: Recovery Force series (Schuman)
• 2^nd place – Headline Writing: Skrzycki
  • “Razor Sharp: Barber Shares Lifetime of Memories”
  • “Unbreakable: Glass Makers Still Going Strong”
  • “Under Their Wings: Angels Invest in, Help Guide Entrepreneurs”

Congratulations to Tom, Rebecca, Symone, Charlee and Matt, along with BizVoice Creative Director Tony Spataro and all of our other contributors to the Indiana Chamber’s award-winning magazine, which is in its 20^th year of publication.

We’re also launching a new look to the BizVoice web site this Thursday evening with the debut of our May-June 2018 edition, following the conclusion of the Best Places to Work in Indiana celebration event. Make sure you check out the great content and our new web site later this week!
