YLNI Welcomes Inaugural Executive Director

Hi YLNI Community,

It’s an incredible honor to serve as the first Executive Director of Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana (YLNI). Stepping into this role is both humbling and energizing, and I couldn’t be more excited to support and advance a mission I deeply believe in: attracting, developing, and retaining emerging leaders through meaningful community, professional, and social engagement.

From my very first experience with YLNI, I felt something unique—a spirit of connection, purpose, and momentum. As a young professional myself, I understand the importance of having spaces where leaders can grow, feel empowered, and be part of something bigger. That’s what makes YLNI so special.

In this new chapter, I look forward to listening, learning, and collaborating with our members, volunteers, board, and partners. With a background in organizational leadership and human resources, I’ve seen firsthand how people flourish when they’re supported, challenged, and connected—and I see those same values driving YLNI’s work every day.

Together, we’ll continue building strong relationships, cultivating new opportunities, and celebrating the leaders shaping the future of Northeast Indiana. Whether you're a longtime member or just discovering YLNI, I’m so glad you’re here—and I can’t wait to connect.

Warmly,

Taylor Fisher
Executive Director
Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana
