Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis is pleased to announce that Carolene Mays will chair the 2010 Touchstone Awards luncheon! As a former Touchstone honoree herself, Mays represents the strong, smart, and bold qualities celebrated at the Touchstone Awards, and her involvement will ensure the event is memorable.

Mays is the publisher and president of the Indianapolis Recorder, the nation’s fourth-oldest African American newspaper, and the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. Since taking over the Recorder in 1998, Mays has been a catalyst for change, redesign, and growth of the newspaper, increasing its readership dramatically by over 50% to nearly 100,000. Mays also served three terms as Indiana state representative of District 94, retiring in November 2008.
