Upcoming Events & Programming
Professional Development Series:
Our Leadership Series will cover the important concept of self-leadership through a half-day workshop, a two-hour training on leading others, and a look at leading in the community from the perspective of young leaders who are serving on various boards in Lexington and in the region.
Leading Yourself on May 19th with Dr. Virgil Grant, StratOp/LifePlan Guide
1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. | Hosted by Big Ass Fans
Before you lead others, you must know how to lead yourself. This is more than understanding your strengths and weaknesses, it is about taking personal responsibility for your growth and development. Leaders need to spend time reflecting on how they are wired, what they prioritize, how they spend their time and where they are get their knowledge. Join Dr. Virgil Grant for a half day interactive workshop on self-leadership. Participants will spend time in discussion and learn tools to help them on their leadership journey.

Community Education Series:
Join us for our first “Lex Talk About” Community Education series, “Lex Talk About: Voting!”
Lex Talk About: Voting will be held in June
Lex Talk About: Voting will be a nonpartisan conversation on the history and scope of the right to vote. While voting is said to be a fundamental element of American democracy, throughout history this “right” has often been denied to our fellow citizens on the basis of gender, race, nationality, and social class. As Lexington celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, we as a community are afforded a unique opportunity to reflect on our past and carry lessons learned into our future. In this session, local experts will lead a discussion of major milestones in American suffrage and Lexington’s role, past and present, in the fight to expand the franchise to all citizens. Come enjoy drinks, snacks, and lively conversation with other emerging community leaders concerning voting rights and a path forward for expanding participation in local, state, and federal elections.
