Commerce Lexington’s Lynda Bebrowsky Celebrates 25 Years of Service

Lynda Bebrowsky
​Commerce Lexington is proud to recognize Lynda Bebrowsky for her 25 years of service to Commerce Lexington and the community.  She joined the organization in mid-2000 as director of marketing prior to the Leadership Visit to Nashville, Tennessee.
 
Today, Lynda serves as chief of staff – a new role she took on recently to support the management and implementation of strategic plans and key initiatives – while continuing to lead Commerce Lexington’s Membership & Engagement Division, which includes oversight of member recruitment and retention efforts, event planning, leadership development programs, the Ambassador Committee, top investor program, and small business support initiatives like the Business Owners Advisory Board (BOAB) and our Peer Groups.
 
Commerce Lexington President and CEO, Bob Quick, said, “Lynda Bebrowsky has been an integral part of our organization’s success and a key connection for so many people across our community.  She has also led one of the most important events we have – our annual intercity trips called Leadership Visits. Commerce Lexington is known as the Gold Standard nationally for these visits, because of the exceptional planning and execution by Lynda and her team.  Other chambers often reach out to us when planning their own intercity visits. We appreciate her years of service and positive impact.”
 
In addition, Lynda serves as a board member of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives (KCCE) and Leadership Central Kentucky and is the current chair of the Lexington Public Library Board of Trustees. A Lexington native, Lynda is married to Henry Bebrowsky and the mother of Max Bebrowsky, currently attending the University of Kentucky.
