I emceed the annual (117th) Beefsteak Dinner at the Columbia Club tonight where Lt. Governor Becky Skillman and Lilly CEO John Lechleiter were among the honorees.
Lechleiter gave brief remarks and got a laugh when he said that he expected a special evening but then said that the dinner was “the highlight of my week.” He said that despite the major cutbacks announced this week, Lilly has an “unwavering commitment” to Indianapolis.
