Planning for Excellence in Indiana University’s Third Century: Strategic Initiatives and Opportunities for IU, Central Indiana, and the State
As a public institution, Indiana University maintains a steadfast commitment to contributing to the economic vitality and cultural enrichment of the state of Indiana, while extending its impact across the nation and around the world. As IU prepares to celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2020, President McRobbie will describe the progress being made on the priorities of the university’s Bicentennial Strategic Plan, including strengthening the university’s commitment to student success and maximizing its capacity for research, scholarship and creative activity.
Michael A. McRobbie became the 18th president of Indiana University on July 1, 2007. IU is one of the largest university systems in the U.S. with eight campuses, a total budget of around $3 billion, and more than 7,000 faculty, 11,000 staff, and nearly 115,000 students.
McRobbie joined IU in 1997 as vice president for information technology and chief information officer, and was appointed vice president for research in 2003. He was named interim provost and vice president for academic affairs for IU’s Bloomington campus in 2006, and became president the following year.

OneAmerica: The 138 year old company you thought you knew
OneAmerica has been around a long time – 138 years to be precise. It’s known locally as a stable company, an exceptional community partner and for its iconic sign boards on Capital and Illinois streets.
But there is a lot to the story you may not know. For example, did you know the company is six times larger than it was 10 years ago? Did you know that in just the last two years it has doubled in size and increased its workforce by a third? Did you know it has a national reputation as the most innovative player in the Long Term Care insurance market?
President and CEO Scott Davison will share the story of a small regional life insurance carrier that has transformed itself into a large, diversified, financial services organization capable of competing against the giants in the industry and his views on the future of OneAmerica.
Mr. Davison is a board member of Indiana University Health, Indiana Chamber of Commerce, Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, LIMRA/LOMA LL Global, Million Dollar Roundtable Foundation and is a trustee of The American College. He previously served as director and Chairman of the Board of Camptown, Inc., an Indianapolis youth serving non-profit.
Rotarian Elaine Bedel and her company, Bedel Financial Consulting Selected for Financial Planning’s Top 150 RIAs List for 2016
Financialplanning.com recently released its Top RIAs list for 2016. It’s the fifth year Financial Planning has published this list, and Bedel Financial Consulting is the only Indianapolis-based firm to be included. The 150 are a select group of RIAs (Registered Investment Advisors) who provide fee-only services. According to research firm Aité Group, there were 59,422 independent RIAs at the end of 2014, managing $2.7 trillion in assets of high net-worth individuals and institutional investors.
“I’m honored and delighted to be ranked among the top 150 RIAs in the U.S.,” said Elaine E. Bedel, CFP®, CEO and president of Bedel Financial. “Being an independent fee-only RIA is challenging in today’s rapidly changing financial environment. But I strongly believe our independence and fee-only business model offers the highest and most ethical service to our clients.”
New Jersey-based Discovery Data, which collects data on the financial industry, compiled the rankings for Financial Planning based on the amount of discretionary and nondiscretionary assets managed by the RIAs. To be included, the RIAs must be based in the U.S. and truly independent—free of affiliations with broker-dealers, insurance, firms, banks and large outside investors. Furthermore, individuals had to comprise 50 percent or higher of their client base.
Bedel’s expertise as a financial advisor is frequently requested for speaking engagements and for interviews. She’s featured on WTHR Channel 13’s Your Money show every Wednesday and has authored a weekly financial planning column for Inside Indiana Business’s newsletter, “The Inside Edge,” since 2003.
Bedel Financial is a wealth management firm providing fee-only financial planning and investment management services. Bedel founded the firm, which has since grown to 19 employees, in 1989. Bedel Financial actively manages more than $900 million in client investments.
