An integral component of the Fellowship experience, Business Leader Meetings (BLMs) have been a central foundation of the Orr Fellowship since its inception. These professional meetings occur once a month, giving Fellows the unique opportunity to learn and gain insight from some of Indiana’s most well respected entrepreneurs, academics, government leaders, and business professionals.

During these meetings, Fellows discover more about the innovation behind business and hear the first hand knowledge of individuals who have experienced the challenges and successes of an entrepreneurial or high growth organization.

Take a moment to watch some of the highlights from one of our most recent Business Leader meetings. (See video below).
