TIM LUZADER introduced Mark Brandyberry, Workforce and Economic Development Director at Ivy Tech. After telling several jokes and quizzing us about Ivy Tech, he performed a magic trick while pointing out the importance of industrial and corporate training.

He concluded by answering several good questions from members.
