Leadership Hendricks County

Welcome Greg Irby – Ignite Class of 2026 🔥

Please help us welcome Greg Irby to the Leadership Hendricks County Class of 2026!

Greg is a small business owner, community leader, and lifelong Hoosier with a passion for service, problem-solving, and building strong local connections. From founding his own law practice to serving eight years as Vice Chairman of the Hendricks County Republican Party, Greg brings a wealth of leadership experience and a heart for community impact.

A resident of Danville, Greg stays active through Rotary, professional associations, and time with his wife and two young children: often cheering on Purdue or exploring town together.

Greg is excited to grow as a leader, learn alongside others, and continue making a positive impact in Hendricks County.

Welcome to the journey, Greg: we’re glad you’re here!

40 years ago, I ran this track—chasing dreams in my hometown.
It was gravel… and when you fell, you felt it.
Today, that same place is remodeled and expanded to help others grow and keep moving forward.
Because learning never stops—and neither does leadership.
That’s what Leadership Hendricks County’s Ember Leadership Academy is all about—equipping you with real-world skills you can use today so you can grow with confidence, lead through challenges, and make a meaningful impact right where you are.
Ready to grow? Join us.
