Leadership Visit
Commerce Lexington's annual Leadership Visit has helped expose Central Kentucky's leaders to the best ideas of model communities throughout the United States, yielding valuable lessons that have been applied to the improvement of the Bluegrass Region. This three-day trip has become the most valuable opportunity to bring community leaders, decision makers and ideas together in order to make positive changes in our community. It's a very unique program that includes the foremost business, education, government and community representatives of Central Kentucky.

2019 Leadership Visit Set for Raleigh, North Carolina
Commerce Lexington Inc. is pleased to announce that the 2019 Leadership Visit presented by Central Bank & Trust Co. will take us to Raleigh, North Carolina, from May 8 - 10, 2019. As North Carolina’s capital city, Raleigh (Wake County) is consistently rated as one of the best places in the nation to raise a family, get a great education, access first-rate healthcare, enjoy the great outdoors, and much more. Thirteen communities call Wake County home, each with its own distinct character.
Wake County is experiencing massive growth, with its population increasing at a rate of about 67 people per day. Approximately 50% of the population over the age of 25 holds a bachelor's degree or higher, which helps companies like Red Hat, MetLife, SAS, Ipreo, Credit Suisse, Citrix, Quintiles and Biogen find the talent they need to thrive in the region.
Raleigh’s talent pool helps set it apart as one of the top three labor markets in the U.S., thanks to a plethora of educational opportunities, including three tier-one research universities: North Carolina State, Duke, and the University of North Carolina. Making our first trip to The City of Oaks since 2002, we are excited to see how Raleigh has been transformed through its innovative companies, highly-skilled workforce, and private-public partnerships.
