Lorraine Ball, president of Roundpeg, Indy’s leading small business marketing firm, has been named one of IBJ’s Most Influential Women of the Year.

Each year Indianapolis Business Journal recognizes local women who have demonstrated professional excellence and leadership in their careers and community service. IBJ first published a list of influential women in 1996. They included government and civic leaders and top executives in a variety of industries.

It is really cool that this year the expanded the category to include women from the small busienss community.
