Happy Birthday, Matt!

Matt is usually behind the scenes making sure the technology side of things is running smoothly, documenting every detail in his notes, and probably adding another item to a to-do list somewhere along the way. He’s always researching new technology, asking thoughtful questions, and figuring things out thoroughly before jumping in.

And naturally, there’s almost always a Star Wars reference mixed in somewhere too.

Hope you have a great day, Matt!

What a great evening celebrating the kickoff of the 2026 Special Olympics Indiana Summer Games.

Over the next few days, more than 2,400 athletes and Unified partners will gather in Terre Haute to compete, connect, and showcase what's possible through determination, hard work, and inclusion.

We've been proud to support efforts that help strengthen local partnerships and ensure Terre Haute is ready to welcome athletes, families, coaches, and supporters from across Indiana. Tonight was a powerful reminder of the community spirit that makes events like this possible.

Good luck to all of the athletes competing this weekend!

We're looking for someone who thrives on keeping people, projects and priorities moving forward.

At RJL Solutions, our Executive Assistant is more than a calendar manager. This role serves as a trusted partner to leadership, helping support a fast-paced team that works across our four service lines: government relations, marketing & communications, community & economic development and association management.

If you're highly organized, proactive, detail-oriented and enjoy solving problems before they become problems, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help us continue making a difference for the communities, organizations and businesses we serve.

Our team enjoyed spending the evening in Jasper with industry leaders, business leaders, community leaders, and Governor Braun discussing opportunities and priorities for Southern Indiana.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is the opportunity to visit communities across all 92 counties of Indiana. Each community offers its own strengths, character, and vision for the future, and Jasper is an outstanding example of that spirit.

We also conducted some very important research while in town: the German chocolate pie at The Schnitzelbank is every bit as good as advertised.

Please join us in welcoming Jordan McAtee to RJL Solutions as our newest government relations intern.

Jordan, a native of Santa Claus, Indiana, earned her bachelor's degree in communications and sociology from IUPUI in 2022. Throughout her internship, she will work alongside our government relations team to gain firsthand experience in public policy, advocacy, stakeholder engagement and legislative affairs.

At RJL, we are committed to investing in the next generation of professionals by providing meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute and grow. We look forward to supporting Jordan as she develops her knowledge and experience in government affairs.

Welcome to the team, Jordan!

This week, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Defense Council, chaired by Rachel Leslie, CEO of RJL Solutions, convened Indiana's first joint meeting of the Indiana Defense Council, Indiana Defense Caucus and the Governor's Indiana Defense Task Force.

The meeting brought together military leaders, state legislators, representatives from higher education institutions, economic development professionals and regional stakeholders from across Indiana to discuss opportunities to strengthen the state's defense economy and military assets.

Attendees heard updates from Commander Martinez of NWS Crane, as well as Josh Richardson, President of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, who shared perspectives on Indiana's continued investment in defense and innovation. Additional updates were provided by Representative Steve Bartels and Senator Greg Goode on behalf of the Indiana Defense Caucus; Jan Schuler-Hicks regarding the Indiana UAS (Drone) Corridor initiative; and Indiana University on its leadership in research, innovation and technology development.

Indiana is fortunate to have strong military installations, industry partners, research institutions and regional leaders working together to advance opportunities across the state. The collaboration demonstrated during this meeting reflects a shared commitment to strengthening military readiness, advancing innovation, developing talent and ensuring Indiana remains a national leader in defense.

Thank you to all who participated and contributed to a productive discussion focused on the future of Indiana's defense ecosystem.

Strong higher education institutions create more than degrees. They create talent pipelines, research opportunities, workforce solutions and stronger communities.

On National Higher Education Day, we’re proud to recognize the colleges, universities and education leaders helping position Indiana for long-term growth and success.

We value the partnerships and impact happening across the state every day.

Congratulations to the Graham Feed team on this exciting milestone! We’re proud to have played a small part in sharing your story and celebrating this next chapter. Wishing you continued success in your new location.

A day focused on strategy, alignment and the future.

Today, the RJL Solutions executive team came together to assess where we are, challenge our thinking and identify opportunities for continued growth and impact.

The work we do for clients starts with being intentional about our own direction. Taking time to evaluate, adapt and plan strategically helps ensure we're positioned to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead.

We were proud to play a supporting role alongside the Wabash Valley Community Foundation and the City of Terre Haute in securing a $6.5 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to help bring this transformational project to life. A successful YMCA is an important asset to a thriving community.

This investment represents much more than a single project; it is an important step forward in the broader vision for the Wabash River corridor and the long-term Riverscape strategy. We are excited to see this momentum continue as the river becomes an even greater asset for the community and region.

A special thank you to Beth Tevlin, Lori Danielson, and Terre Haute Mayor Brandon Sakbun for their leadership, partnership, and commitment to making this vision a reality. We are grateful to be part of a team that continues to turn big ideas into meaningful investments for the future of the community.
