About
Now entering her seventh decade of life, Lorene Burkhart has the energy and the passion to make younger folks envious. She sees life as a wonderful gift, full of opportunity with a learning curve that just keeps going upward. As she arises each day, Lorene is eager to discover where the curve will lead her.
To categorize her experience only as “interesting” is an understatement. Her journey has taken her from the barnyard to the boardroom, with many valuable lessons along the way.
Born on a southern Indiana farm, she attended tiny rural elementary and high schools. From there, she graduated with honors from Purdue University, with a degree in Home Economics – a traditional choice in the mid-1950s.
Lorene was a working mother long before it was common for mothers to be employed outside the home. In 1975, she became one of the first female executives for a major U.S. corporation. Ten years later, she used her business sense and savvy to launch a successful financial advertising firm focusing on women.
Also experienced in public relations, Lorene has a long history as a popular radio and television personality. She was also the publisher of two Indianapolis-based business periodicals – The Register and Issues IN BUSINESS. Her wealth of experiences has given her a rich perspective on life and what it has to offer – something she shares openly through her writing and speeches.
Lorene Burkhart lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she is widely recognized for her civic contributions and philanthropic activities.
