Mark D. Miles is President and Chief Executive Officer of Hulman & Company, comprised of

Clabber Girl, Georgetown Realty, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, INDYCAR, IMS Productions, and

various other business entities.

Prior to joining Hulman, from January 2006 through December 2012, Miles was President

and Chief Executive Officer of Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, Inc. (“CICP”), a non-profit,

regional alliance of corporate CEOs and university presidents focused on long-term growth and

economic development throughout the Central Indiana region, including strategic priorities as

wide-ranging as human capital (education), entrepreneurship and innovation, government reform,

and mass transit.

In 2008, Miles led a successful effort to earn Indianapolis the right to host Super Bowl XLVI.

He was Chairman of the Board of the 2012 Super Bowl Host Committee, with 18 staff members and

thousands of volunteers, and which served as an extension of the National Football League in the

local community to centralize planning and execution of the 2012 Super Bowl event.

In conjunction with the 2012 Super Bowl, Miles spearheaded a civic effort known as the

Legacy Project to effect positive change throughout the surrounding community. Legacy Project

work done on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis created a lasting legacy and impact far beyond

game week – with special emphasis on Youth Education Town and revitalization of the East 10th

Street business district.

From August 1990 through 2005, Miles was Chief Executive Officer of the Association of

Tennis Professionals (“ATP”). While there, Miles built the ATP into a world-class, professional

organization, stabilized a sport that was struggling to compete with other sports and entertainment

entities, posted impressive revenue gains, launched innovative marketing initiatives, and expanded

its global presence through successful events in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

During his years with the ATP, prize money rose from $47million to $85million, and long-

term commercial sponsorships were put into place, with Mercedes-Benz being established as the

ATP’s Premium Partner in 1996. He helped to forge closer ties with the game’s other governing

bodies and, along with the ITF, helped return tennis to the Olympics and strengthened the sport’s

prominence through the awarding of ATP ranking points for the competition.

In 1984, Miles was chosen to organize and produce the Pan American Games, scheduled to

be held in Indianapolis in 1987. As President of the organizing body, he led the $100 million event

with 38,000 volunteers and staged the most successful Pan Am Games in history.

From 1985 until 1990, Miles was President and volunteer Tournament Director of the ATP

Indianapolis tournament, where he oversaw its transition from clay to hard courts, while doubling

revenues through record ticket sales and sponsor support. Under his leadership, the tournament

was awarded the first of 10 consecutive ATP Tournament of the Year awards – an award chosen by

the players.

From 1988 to 1990, Miles served as Executive Director of Corporate Relations for Eli Lilly

and Company, an international pharmaceutical, medical instrument and agricultural chemical

company headquartered in Indianapolis.

Miles serves on numerous local civic and non-profit boards and committees.

That vision has resulted in the company doing over one billion in new development in 2016. The company has built over 200 projects and has built them in 44 states and Canada to date.

Mayor Jim Brainard is Carmel’s first six-term mayor. During his terms in office, Carmel has

grown in population from 25,000 to almost 90,000. Parkland, greenspace and trails have

increased. The development of an Arts & Design District, a downtown called City Center and a

new Midtown project joining the two together, has helped in the creation of a vibrant, thriving

city where companies want to locate, where employees want to live and where families want to

raise their children. Mayor Brainard is frequently asked to speak around the world about city

planning, climate change, redevelopment and roadway networks.

Mayor Brainard spearheaded the redevelopment in the Old Town area of Carmel into an Arts &

Design District, which has transformed a much neglected original center of town into a thriving

district with galleries, restaurants, shops and community events attracting thousands of visitors

each year as well as the attention of the national and international media.

As part of the City Center project to create a downtown for Carmel, Mayor Brainard

incorporated world-class cultural and entertainment venues. The Center for the Performing Arts

in City Center includes the Palladium, a state-of-the-art, 1,600-seat concert hall, The Tarkington,

a 500-seat proscenium theater and the 200-seat Studio Theater. Mayor Brainard was also

successful in gaining the talent of Michael Feinstein as the Artistic Director for the Center as

well as integrating the Great American Songbook Foundation and Songbook Academy into the

cultural options at the Center. All of these venues, including an outdoor amphitheater named

Rotary Centennial Plaza, opened in 2011.

Mayor Brainard has encouraged the construction of roundabouts, which reduced accidents with

injury almost 80 percent at intersections when contrasted to signalized intersections. The City

now has more than 100 roundabout intersections, the most of any other city in the United States.

Carmel has been honored with many awards for its high quality of life and environmental

initiatives. Carmel is among Money magazine’s Best Places to Live in America - #3 in 2014 and

#1 in 2012 for cities with a population of 50,000 – 300,000. In 2015, Carmel was recognized as

Community of the Year by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. The City was awarded first place

in the Climate Protection Awards from the U.S. Conference of Mayors for its roundabout

program and national runner-up of the Home Depot Awards of Excellence in Community Trees.

Carmel has also been the recipient of the Sterling Tree City Award, honorable mention for

Municipal Excellence from the National League of Cities and has been designated a bronze level

Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists.

Based on surveys using community statistics, Carmel is consistently ranked among the top places

to live for families, singles, children, senior citizens and veterans based on low crime rates, low

cost of living, excellent schools, availability of high paying jobs and appreciation of community

amenities such as arts, culture, parks and recreational opportunities.

Mayor Brainard’s academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in History from Butler

University and Doctor of Jurisprudence from Ohio Northern University. He also received a

diploma from the Oxford Institute on International and Comparative Law from the University of

San Diego. His book, entitled Carmel, ‘round about right, shares the story of redevelopment in
