Feltman is co-owner of the IBJ Corporation, the publisher of the Indianapoluis Business Journal, the Indiana Lawyer, and the Court and Commercial Record. He is also the CEO of NJF Consulting, LLC.

Before his U.S. legal experience, Feltman spent nearly four years in Moscow, Russia, with international law firms representing companies seeking to do business in Russia.
Appointed by then-Governor Mitch Daniels, Feltman served as Secretary of Commerce for the State of Indiana and CEO of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation from 2006 to 2008. Nate holds a B.A. in political science from the IU School of Arts and Sciences in Bloomington, a B.S. from the IU Kelley School of Business in Bloomington, a J.D. from IU McKinney Law, and an LL.M. in Russian Law from the Institute of State and Law, Russian Academy of Sciences. Feltman serves on many boards, including the IU McKinney Board of Visitors.
IU McKinney School of Law Dean Andrew R. Klein presented the award, noting that Feltman returned to Indiana after working in Chicago and internationally, and was willing to share his experience and expertise through public service, leading the IEDC in consecutive record-breaking years for competitive deals, investment in Indiana, and jobs creation.
“Nate Feltman is both a man of the world, and a man of Indiana,” Dean Klein said.
Meghan H. Savage, ’08, was presented with the IU McKinney School of Law Early Career Achievement Award.
Savage is the chief of staff for Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks, ’85, from Indiana’s 5th District. Megan, a native of Indiana, has been in Brooks’ office since she was sworn in during January 2013, previously serving as legislative director. Savage oversees the office operations for the Congresswoman and ensures the Congresswoman’s priorities.
Savage, a graduate of American University, returned to her hometown of Indianapolis to attend law school. Prior to working for Congresswoman Brooks, Savage was legislative council for Congressman Todd Rokita, ’95. Before beginning her work on Capitol Hill, Savage was a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Indianapolis. She is a member of the law school’s Alumni Association Board.
In presenting the award, Dean Klein praised Savage’s career accomplishments. “We are grateful for Megan’s commitment to public service, as well as to the IU McKinney Alumni Association board,” he said.
