The Indiana General Assembly’s 2025 session is shaping up to be pivotal. As an odd-numbered year, this “long session” centers on crafting Indiana’s biennial budget, which determines state funding for the next two years. The session spans nearly four months and has a legislative deadline of April 29 for completing all activities.

What was your first job, and what did you learn from it?
My first job was working as a secretary in my dad’s State Farm office. Primarily, I learned that working for your dad doesn’t always give you an accurate picture of what work really looks like! Just kidding … kind of. I learned about customer service, particularly that kindness and a willingness to help go a long way, and that leading with friendliness sets the appropriate tone.

Overall, U.S. banks are in good condition with solid earnings, sound asset quality and regulatory capital levels above required minimums. This assessment comes from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in its semiannual Supervision and Regulation Report published in November. The report covers banking system conditions in the first half of 2024, as well as regulatory and supervisory developments for the institutions under the Fed’s supervisory umbrella.
