This week on the Selling Fort Wayne podcast, hosts Tyler Morningstar and Kerri Morningstar catch up with Lindsay Hannah of Greater Fort Wayne, a nonprofit organization that focuses on economic development and community growth in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Lindsay discusses the exciting growth and development happening in Fort Wayne and shares insights about attracting high talent and fostering collaboration. She also discusses the Intern Experience program, which aims to retain young talent in Fort Wayne by showcasing the city's opportunities and amenities.

”We are partners, strong partners with our city, the city of Fort Wayne, and then our Allen County government with the commissioners. We're all rowing in the same direction because when you have everybody moving in a certain direction and in a certain vision, you just see intentionality and success.”  -Lindsay Hannah [04:06]

“We were chosen to be a pilot city, the only city in Indiana. Because of our growth in Fort Wayne, they wanted to utilize us to build out what we have now named the Intern Experience. As we sat down, we utilized ten people from our leadership, Fort Wayne Cohort this year to help with this project and have been blown away.” -Lindsay Hannah [16:30]
