Lorene’s business experience.
Lorene’s experience spans 40 years and includes product development, marketing and public relations. During the 1990s, she was the chair and publisher of Metro Magazines and owner of The Register and IN Business. She developed a love for philanthropy as her career developed and progressed, and found she no longer had to rely on each paycheck. In turn, she began giving back to organizations and causes in the Hoosier state, where she was born and raised on a southern Indiana farm.
Everything in life has a positive moral story.
Lorene believes that the more you give, the more you get. The staff at Burkhart Network operates under this philosophy. Each new project and product is carefully considered and designed to inspire others as well to give back to the community.
Philanthropic efforts are well noted.
Lorene is known for giving time, treasure and talent in various areas of need including: education, women and girls, arts, elderly and health care. In 1990 and 1996, Lorene was named a Sagamore of the Wabash by the respective State of Indiana governors. This prominent award recognizes philanthropic Hoosiers.
