Hello, MDLF Network!

My name is Kelsey Cook and I am excited to introduce myself as the new Membership Director of the Mitch Daniels Leadership Foundation!

I have always been passionate about helping people rise to overcome challenges, so I said yes to connect leaders with ambitious young professionals to establish the next wave of Hoosiers that will initiate impact in their communities. I am motivated by MDLF’s work to enable leaders to drive change!

Developing meaningful, intentional partnerships will allow communities to grow, businesses to prosper, and the state to level-up. Although Indiana already leads the nation in many business related categories, we must continue to adapt and push the envelope to bring forth new, bold actions to build a prosperous future.

I am grateful for the experiences in my past role as Assistant to the President and Project Manager at Hathaway Strategies. Currently, I am engaged in the community as a class member of the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series and the Columbian Community Impact Program. I also serve on the board of various Republican Clubs, and am exploring organizations that align with other passions including public health, empowering women, and supporting local businesses. In addition to my role at MDLF, I recently launched a nutrition coaching business which will expand in the spring to include exercise training as well.

While I am active in serving the Indianapolis community, I am thrilled to expand my outreach across the state through working with the MDLF team.

I look forward to connecting with you!!

Kelsey
