The IBJ Forty Under 40 honors individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership, professional achievement, and community engagement. Honorees are selected for their contributions to strengthening their industries and the broader Indianapolis community.

Gramlich leads Girls Inc. Indy with a focus on empowering girls to be strong, smart, and bold through research-based programming, mentorship, and advocacy.

In fact, 2025 marked a historic year in funds raised, and a 121% growth in the number of girls served since 2024. 

“Lindsay’s leadership has been instrumental in advancing our mission and strengthening opportunities for girls,” said Jade Stone, Senior Director of Advancement. “This recognition reflects her true passion for our mission, our community, and most importantly–our girls. It’s incredible to be part of an organization with a leader who leads with such direction and passion.”

As part of this year’s honor, Gramlich participated in the IBJ Forty Under 40 photo and video shoot held at the historic Columbia Club in downtown Indianapolis. The landmark venue, known for its long-standing role in the city’s civic and cultural life, provided the backdrop for this year’s honoree portraits.
