Since Mrs. Winnie Ballard became the First Lady of Indianapolis, she has been working hard to improve financial literacy in our city by making sure families have access to the tools and resources they need to be more financially fit. 

With 8 years of banking experience and operating a bookkeeping business she understands the importance of financial literacy. 

In October 2008, the city along with the members of Indianapolis Asset Building Coalition launched Indy’s Campaign For Financial Fitness.

Mrs. Ballard keeps herself busy with her financial fitness initiative and actively supports other causes including arthritis awareness, minority and women-owned business and diversity initiatives within our city. 

Mrs. Ballard is an accountant by trade. She and Mayor Greg Ballard have been married for 27 years and reside in Pike Township. They have two children both of whom recently graduated from Indiana University.
