The Exchange at the Indianapolis Urban League

TODAY!

Join The Exchange and newly appointed Deputy Mayor of Neighborhoods for the city of Indianapolis, Jordan Gathers.

Gathers was appointed by the mayor on May 1, 2026. He most recently served as Executive Director of Venues, Parks & Arts for the City of South Bend, where he led the city’s expansive parks system, cultural venues, and public spaces. In this role, he oversaw initiatives that supported community vitality, expanded access to recreation, and enhanced quality of place assets.

Gathers previously served as Deputy Chief of Staff to South Bend’s 33rd Mayor James Mueller, helping to guide citywide strategy, communications, and daily operations. His public service career builds on earlier work with Indiana University Health, where he supported executive leadership and strategic initiatives at both Methodist and University Hospitals.

A former Division I student athlete, Gathers competed for St. Bonaventure Bonnies men’s basketball and Butler Bulldogs men’s basketball, serving as a team captain and appearing in the NCAA Tournament. He has a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from St. Bonaventure University and a Master of Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University.

All are welcomed to come out to meet, greet, and speak with Jordan Gathers as he “gathers” 😏 our city’s neighborhoods for the betterment of all!

As we celebrate Juneteenth, remember to use this moment to be reflective and recognize how far we have come and where we will continue to go.

Black individuals in America have experienced harm, violence, and generational trauma but in the words of the stellar Maya Angelou, we rise!

Our histories and contributions cannot and shall not be denied, ignored, or, co-opted. Celebrate this day with honor and intention.

Happy Juneteenth, family!
