Traci Lutton
Emphatic that Muncie’s young professionals must play a role in the city’s future, Traci Lutton is one of the young faces that seems to show up everywhere.
She’s a founding member and the current general chairperson of the Muncie Young Professionals Group, and in 2008 the Southside High School and Ball State University graduate was a nominee for the first young professional award presented by Women in Business Unlimited.
Lutton, 33, spends her days as assistant director of business development for the Muncie-Delaware County Economic Development Alliance, but her free time is filled with activities all about town.
She believes that if those in their 20s and 30s get active in the MYPG, even if just for social reasons, they’ll be more invested in the community’s future, and want to improve it.
