2023 Leadership Visit: Grand Rapids, Michigan | June 5-7, 2023
PRESENTED BY:
Commerce Lexington's 2023 Leadership Visit presented by Central Bank & Trust Co. will take us to Grand Rapids, Michigan, June 5 - 7, 2023. For more than 80 years, this annual intercity visit has helped Central Kentucky leaders study the best ideas from communities throughout the country. Commerce Lexington’s successful Community & Minority Business Development Program, EMERGE Conference, and Access Loan Program were direct impacts from past Leadership Visits, while community initiatives like Courageous Conversations, Thursday Night Live, the FCPS facilities tax, and more were created from discussions that occurred during past trips. Our Leadership Visit delegation will explore the stories that have made Grand Rapids what it is today, while writing Lexington’s own story of success. CLICK HERE to learn more about Grand Rapids.
