The Chamber and Success School Remember Keith Klein

PictureKeith Klein
The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce and The Success School join our community in expressing sorrow at news of Keith Klein’s recent passing and gratitude for his decades of service to Bloomington/Monroe County.

“Our condolences go out to Keith’s family and many friends,” said Erin Predmore, the Chamber’s President and CEO. “His public service, generosity and dedication made our community a better place.”

Keith is perhaps best known as a broadcaster, working for more than 20 years as WTIU’s program director. He served as Master of Ceremonies for many local events, including the July 4th parade and Festival of Lights. He also has been a trustee for the Monroe County Community School Corp. since 2009, representing District 5.
​
“Keith took great pride in his service to our community, and the sheer number of students, teachers, families, and athletes he congratulated and supported over the years is incredible,” Predmore said. “He will be missed by many.”

​
Guided by the Success School Advisory Council, the programs focus on five keys: Career Exploration, Job Skills, Financial Readiness, Soft Skills and Entrepreneurship. Each program is developed to align with Indiana curriculum standards and designed to support work already occurring in the classroom.
