Testimonials
Leadership Lexington Youth Program
Mother of Selena The, 2008-09 class member, Lexington Catholic High School
"Thank you for the Leadership Lexington opportunity that you provided for our youth. What a fabulous program and it was so very well organized, informational and engaging and fun. My daughter, Selena The, was very thankful for the experience. We appreciated all of your dedication and leadership as well as from your staff team."
Kate Gardiner, Class of 2008-09
"Thank you for heading up the LLY program this year. The program was so much fun and I have learned so much from it. I have become a much better leader, especially around adults. The skills I have learned from this program I expect will help me greatly for a very long time. Thank you for taking us around Lexington and letting us meet so many influential people. I really have become a lot more interested in staying in Lexington or moving back after I complete college because I now know all of the cool things that go on all around town. This program was just so much fun for me and I wish I had a chance to do it again."

Mark Manuel, VP, Workforce & Institutional Development, Bluegrass Community & Technical College
“Leadership Lexington was a great experience, and one of the top networking activities I’ve done in the last 20 years. The exposure to key leaders and the knowledge of the entire community is unparalleled. But, the lasting effect for me is the relationships developed with our classmates that continue today.”
Julane Mullins, Budget & Staffing Director, Fayette County Public Schools
“The Leadership Lexington program opened my eyes to another side of Lexington that I never knew existed. The personal and professional growth that I experienced in the program was incredible to say the least. It has brought my understanding regarding the responsibility I have to my community to another level, not to mention the networking opportunities and the friendships that were formed that will last a lifetime. The Leadership Lexington program is an opportunity of a lifetime!”
