November 14, 2024- Leadership Lexington Class of 2024-25, affectionately dubbed the “Best Class Ever,” added a new accolade to their name: “Most Fiscally Responsible.” During Government Day, participants were immersed in the multifaceted operations of local government, gaining insight into the roles, challenges, and opportunities that define Lexington’s governance. For many—including myself, with a previous background at LFUCG—it was both a chance to revisit familiar ground and an opportunity to explore new initiatives shaping our city’s future.

As part of its commitment to enhancing regional impact and operational efficiency, Commerce Lexington is pleased to announce that Lynda Bebrowsky will take on the role of Chief of Staff.
