Lake County Advancement Committee’s 58 Year History Continues. LCAC is out of retirement and has joined Legacy Foundation!

Legacy Foundation is thrilled to be planning a lineup of speakers, conversations, and networking that will deepen your connection to our community. Whether you’ve attended in the past or this is your first time, we invite you to join Legacy Foundation in advancing Lake County!

LCAC History
Since its inception in 1965, LCAC has been: identifying major social, economic, and policy issues impacting the citizens of Lake County, educating Lake County leaders and the greater community about these important issues, and engaging in dialogue around these topics. We encourage you to be part of the conversation and join us for these important conversations.

Celebrate LCAC’s 1 Year Anniversary With Legacy Foundation at FutureCast 2025!

Join our local experts to discuss how the changing economic environment will affect the local region, Indiana, and the nation in the coming year. The panelists provide insights into key economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, and industry trends.

This conversation will focus on the communities of Lake, Porter, Jasper, and Newton County.
