“Evan came to the IBA with big shoes to fill, and he has more than risen to the occasion,” said IBA President and CEO Amber Van Til. “In the nearly 1 1/2 years he has been with the association he has proven himself as a gifted communicator, and I’m confident he will continue to serve the IBA and the Indiana banking community well.”
