Indiana’s two major-party candidates for secretary of state will appear together at a OneZone Chamber of Commerce luncheon Tuesday, August 18, at the FORUM Events Center in Fishers.

Republican nominee Max Engling and Democratic nominee Beau Bayh will be the featured guests for OneZone’s Voices of Leadership Luncheon.

According to the chamber, the discussion will focus on the candidates’ backgrounds, leadership philosophies and visions for Indiana. The event is expected to draw business executives, public officials, community leaders and other residents from across Central Indiana.

“The OneZone Chamber is committed to creating opportunities for meaningful civic engagement,” OneZone President and CEO Jack Russell said in the announcement.

Russell said the luncheon is intended to help business and community leaders learn more about the people seeking public office. OneZone described the program as a nonpartisan conversation rather than a traditional political debate.

The secretary of state serves as Indiana’s chief elections officer. The office also oversees business registrations, securities regulation and the maintenance of state records.

Bondry Consulting will serve as presenting sponsor of the luncheon. The company, founded in 2018, provides financial advisory services to municipalities, public agencies and private developers.
