Commerce Lexington Inc. is proud to recognize the latest class of graduates from the 2024-25 Leadership Lexington program presented by Community Trust Bank.  Since 1979, this nationally recognized leadership development program has been cultivating Lexington leaders, producing more than 1,800 graduates from this impactful leadership development program that has enhanced our city in areas such as youth mentoring, public art, healthy living, hunger relief, community engagement, and more.
​
Commerce Lexington’s Director of Leadership Development, Tyra Harbut, said, “The class of 2025 is an incredibly close-knit, energetic, and inspiring group. They are passionate, high-performing, forward-thinking, engaged, and deeply committed to both their personal growth and the well-being of our community. Thoughtful, dynamic, family-oriented, and full of good vibes, this class has truly set the bar high. As my very first class, they will always hold a special place in my heart. They consistently showed up to each day session eager to learn, contribute, and support one another, making my role not only easier but incredibly meaningful. I’ve gained lifelong friendships from this experience, and for that, I’m beyond grateful.”

Commerce Lexington and Delta Dental of Kentucky, Inc. have launched a new group benefit insurance product for Commerce Lexington’s member businesses.

This program will include a full suite of ancillary products including dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, as well as veterinarian telehealth services and fitness tracking, through trusted providers with the goal of helping businesses of all sizes provide quality benefits to their employees.
​
The new program will be offered alongside Commerce Lexington’s other cost saving programs such as Anthem ChamberAdvantage (Health Insurance), Clearpath Specialty (Workers Compensation Plan), and ODP Business Solutions (Office Supply Discounts). 

​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.
