Governor Pence Appoints Warsaw Executive Michael Kubacki to IEDC Board
Indianapolis -Â Governor Mike Pence today named Michael Kubacki to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) Board of Directors.
“Michael Kubacki is a leader in Hoosier business,†said Governor Mike Pence. “Michael is a longtime Hoosier and his work as Lake City Bank’s CEO and now as its chairman exemplifies his commitment to growing his home state. He’s passionate about continuing to grow our state’s economy, create more great-paying jobs and expand opportunities for every Hoosier, and it’s clear Michael is the perfect addition to the IEDC board. We’re thankful he has agreed to serve Hoosiers in this exciting new capacity as we build upon the successes and strong foundation of the Hoosier state.”
Kubacki serves as chairman of Lake City Bank and its holding company, Lakeland Financial Corporation. Based in Warsaw, Indiana, Lake City Bank operates offices throughout the northern and central regions of the state and is the largest bank with all of its investments in Indiana. Serving as the bank’s chief executive officer from 1999 to 2014, under Kubacki’s leadership Lake City Bank opened offices in South Bend, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis and grew its assets from $1 billion to $3.2 billion. With market share growth of nearly 500 percent, Kubacki helped make Lake City Bank one of the highest-performing banks of its size in the country.
In 2014, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce named Kubacki the state’s Business Leader of the Year. The designation followed previous honors, including Community Banker of the Year by American Banker in 2011 and Best Value CEO by Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly in 2006.
Kubacki also serves on the boards of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce (where he is a past chairman), the Indiana University South Bend School of Business Advisory, the LaCasa Business Advisory, the Indiana Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Indiana Society of Chicago.
“Throughout my career in banking, I’ve witnessed the impact a successful business can have on its community and its state,†said Kubacki. “As the newest member of the IEDC board, I’m committed to working with Governor Pence and the team at the IEDC to continue building upon our state’s incredible economic momentum, with more Hoosiers now working than ever before. Today in Indiana we’re witnessing massive growth in life sciences, aerospace, agribusiness and technology, which is attracting jobs that are increasing Indiana’s average wage, and that’s an effort I’m honored to join.â€
Kubacki is a graduate of Indiana University and earned an MBA from the University of Chicago. He resides in Syracuse, Indiana, with his wife, Rebecca, and has two children and two grandchildren.
He replaces former IEDC board member Bob Taylor, who retired from Do it Best Corp. in January, and will serve the remainder of his four-year term, which expires in March 2017.

Parr’s walk-off home run gives softball 6-5 win
Aces top Skyhawks in non-conference game
Trailing 5-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Chandra Parr hit a walk-off 2-run home run to give the University of Evansville softball team a 6-5 win over UT Martin on Tuesday afternoon at Cooper Stadium.
“I am so proud of how the girls battled back. Our offense was able to get some timely hits for us today,†UE head coach Mat Mundell said. “This is a huge win for us as we get ready to head to Bradley this weekend.â€
Evansville (13-16) tallied seven hits. The biggest two were 2-run shots off the bats of Parr and Morgan Florey. Katie Warrick was the top performer for the Skyhawks (18-15) as she went 2-4 with 3 RBI.
UT Martin got on the board with a pair of runs in the top of the third as both scored on a Katie Warrick single. The Skyhawks added to their lead on an Aeron Smith infield single in the fourth.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Aces offense was able to get on the board as Kristin Koepke led it off with a single to right-center for UE’s first hit of the game. Following a Morgan Lambert walk, Olivia Cheatham bunted the runs over to second and third. Michal Luckett came through with a single to left to plate the first run of the game. Lambert would later score on a UTM error.
Evansville kept the pressure on in the bottom of the sixth as Morgan Florey hit the first home run of her career to give the Aces a 4-3 advantage. Down to their last strike, the Skyhawks were able to retake the lead on a 2-run single off the bat of Katie Warrick.
Facing the late deficit, the Aces refused to give up. Courtney Land led the inning off with a single to bring up Parr, who belted her third home run of the season to left-center to finish off the game. Florey picked up the win for UE, her seventh of the season.
UE takes to the road this weekend with its first conference trip of the season. The Aces head to Peoria, Ill. for a 3-game set against Bradley on Friday and Saturday.
