Since 1984, Leadership Kentucky has assembled diverse groups of professionals at various locations across the Commonwealth for the purpose of discussing major issues facing the state. Through these discussions and the network built by this assembly, those involved become informed and prepared to take ideas back to their communities and places of work. As a result, businesses and communities benefit individually and the Commonwealth benefits as a whole. I believe the Leadership Kentucky program is an excellent investment in Kentucky’s future. As a graduate and board member, I give this program my highest endorsement.
