She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Public Management from Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne and is a 2009 graduate of the University of Oklahoma Economic Development Institute. In 2011, she became a Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) through the International Economic Development Council (IEDC). Steenman is also an alumna of Leadership Fort Wayne, a board member of the Three Rivers Festival, chair of Art in the Park for the Three Rivers Festival, and president of Women of Wednesdays Network (WOWnet).<\/p>\n<p>Steenman, along with the 39 other young professionals making a difference on the job and in the community, will be recognized on Thursday, March 19, 2015 at a dinner at Ceruti&#8217;s Banquet &amp; Event Center in Fort Wayne. The 40-member class will also be featured in a special edition of the Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly.<\/p>\n<p>Steenman is the fifth member of GFW Inc. to receive the award. The past Forty Under 40 recipients from the GFW Inc. staff are Marla Schneider, vice president of marketing and communications; Justin Clupper, director of leadership development and community engagement; Melissa Beber, director of business advocacy; and John Urbahns, executive vice president of economic development.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Greater Fort Wayne Inc<\/strong>.<br \/>\nGreater Fort Wayne Inc. is the new organization that unifies the Fort Wayne?Allen County Economic Development Alliance, the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, and Leadership Fort Wayne, serving as a single point of contact for economic growth in Greater Fort Wayne.
