Mickey Maurer Shares Life-Shaping Lessons with Carmel Rotarians

Carmel Rotarians enjoyed a “conversation with Mickey Maurer,” Chairman of IBJ Corporation, Founder of The National Bank of Indianapolis, attorney, entrepreneur, and one of Indiana’s most influential business and civic leaders, came prepared with a written speech, then, when introduced, decided instead to engage with members in a Q & A session.

Maurer brought copies of 4 books he’s authored, and gave one to each member who asked an interesting question (everyone who asked a question!) He also gave a book to every student from the Interact Club of Carmel who was present at the meeting.

Maurer shared that 2026 will be the final year for “Mickey’s Camp” which, in 25 years, has raised millions for local charities. He likened his lifelong commitment to service to those values exemplified by Rotary’s mission of “Service Above Self”. After concluding his interaction with the club, he autographed books about a child entrepreneur named Rohan, presented by Rotarian Tamey Haney, to be donated to local elementary school libraries.
