Jim Morris | Vice Chairman, Pacers Sports & Entertainment
As a Pacers executive, Jim helps guide the team’s success on the court and its contribution to the city. This continues the arc of his career that started with his service as Chief of Staff to Mayor Dick Lugar in the 1970s when they sought to use sports as a catalyst to revitalize the city of Indianapolis. Between these two posts, Jim served as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Program, CEO of the Indianapolis Water Company, and president of the Lilly Endowment.
