For lobbyists, government affairs professionals and others, the Indiana Chamber’s Legislative Directory has long been a useful tool. This helpful booklet contains all the contact information you need for all 150 state legislators: committee and seat assignments, photos, biographies and much more.

But what if you didn’t have to carry a book around to have this information? What if you could simply use the smartphone or tablet to which you’re already tied?

Now you can with the new and improved Legislative Directory App.

“We’ve worked with Indiana-based Bluebridge to develop an app that will be ready for use at the beginning of the session,” explains Indiana Chamber Publications Director Matt Ottinger. “I’ll be updating information as it comes in throughout December. We encourage you to take advantage of the technology, as it will be mid-January before the hard copies of the book are printed and available.”

Like the book, apps are now ordered through the Chamber. (You no longer download the app via app stores.) The Chamber’s customer service team will send you download codes. Bulk purchases are available for both the app and booklet.

Here are a few other benefits of the app:

• Real-time updates to information throughout the session and beyond
• Less expensive than the book, but contains the same (and more) information
• Legislators’ contact info can be downloaded to your phone

And if you’re not a fan of apps or also want the information as you’ve always received it, hard copies are still offered.

See you at the Statehouse!
