IBJ recently announced the third class of 20 in their Twenties, a group of up-and-coming leaders in central Indiana who are working to shape Indiana’s economy and communities for decades to come. Honorees were chosen by a committee that included IBJ editors, IBJ Media staff and a previous 20 in their Twenties honoree.

LISC Indianapolis is proud to announce that our very own Ephraim Sy Palmero III was named to this prestigious list! Ephraim serves as Assistant Program Officer at LISC working to support our food systems and social determinants of health portfolio. This important work includes providing strategic leadership, technical assistance, and grants management on key health initiatives like the Equitable Food Access Initiative, Diabetes Impact Project and NFL Foundation Grassroots Program. His previous experience in international development, community development, and city government affirms his commitment to increase food access and health equity to all residents.

“Thank you to the Indianapolis Business Journal for giving a kid from Manila, Philippines a platform to share his story of a city transplant back in 2021, making his way to give back to a city that has treated him as his own. This is not a unique story but a testament on previous generations laying the groundwork for people like me to walk and thrive on.”
