Amy Levander has over 20 years of government experience serving both the executive and legislative branches. Amy is a leader in her field, recognized as a top health care lobbyist in the state. She served as Chair of Krieg DeVault’s Governmental Affairs and Public Advocacy Practice from 2014-2024.

Prior to joining Krieg DeVault’s Governmental Affairs team, Ms. Levander served as Governor- Kernan and Governor O’Bannon’s Deputy Legislative Director. In that role, she negotiated legislation on behalf of the Governor with House and Senate Leadership, approved all agency legislation and made recommendations to the Governor. Prior to this role, she served three and a half years on the Indiana House of Representatives Democrat Staff, quickly being promoted from legislative assistant to leadership assistant, serving as assistant to the Speaker Pro Tempore of the House.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Amy also believes that giving back to her community is an essential element of citizenship. Time and again she has not only agreed to serve on not-for-profit boards, but has also been an active and engaged member, leading to requests for her to serve in leadership positions on those boards.  

Amy is the past chair of the Hope Academy Board of Directors, serving as chair from July 2017 through June of 2019.  She assumed the position of Vice Chair of the board in July of 2021.  Hope Academy is a charter school specifically for high school students in recovery from substance abuse; it is the only recovery high school in Indiana and one of only seven such schools in the country accredited by the Association of Recovery High Schools. During her tenure, Amy has helped the Board to create and implement committees and a committee structure that have increased board member engagement and provided the board more organizational direction.  

Amy served as a founding board member of Hoosier Women Forward, a women’s leadership organization whose mission is to increase the number of Democratic women in elected and appointed positions in government and in leadership roles in business and philanthropic organizations. Amy co-chaired the Development and Special Events committee and helped to fundraise and plan the inaugural lunch in 2018, which hosted over 500 attendees. Amy was then asked to serve as the organization’s first Executive Director, a position she assumed in June 2019 in addition to her other professional responsibilities described above. Hoosier Women Forward’s first session of the second program year convened in August of 2019.

Amy also serves as a Mayoral appointee to the Indianapolis Fire Merit Board and the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee, a non-partisan organization comprised of public and private sector leaders designed to study, discuss and address issues of concern and areas of opportunity to advance the progress of the city.
