Leadership Central Kentucky Selects Class for 2023-24 Program

8/15/2023

 
​The Leadership Central Kentucky (LCK) program recently announced its newest class of thirty-three regional leaders that will begin the 2023-24 leadership development program with an Orientation Retreat later this week in Madison County at the Historic Boone Tavern. Now beginning its 23rd year, Leadership Central Kentucky’s mission provides a platform “to educate to lead, connect, and know our communities.”  The program does this through its four core pillars: leadership development, relationship-building, education on regional issues, and exposure to uniqueness of each county.

Presented by LG&E and KU, participants will attend day sessions each month within the eight-county region that includes Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Jessamine, Madison, Scott, and Woodford counties. Class members will study community and regional topics such as education, workforce, economic development, quality of life, public advocacy, and agri-tourism. The topics are covered by knowledgeable speakers and panels, tours, interactive exercises, and class discussions.
