The Leadership Kentucky alumni network is a growing community of leaders who continue to learn from one another, stay curious about our Commonwealth, and lean in when Kentucky needs thoughtful leadership most. This is exactly what Commonwealth Conversations is all about.

Each month, alumni from across the state will come together for these dynamic virtual gatherings to explore exciting initiatives happening in Kentucky, dig into the real challenges facing our communities, and gain practical leadership tools they can put to work right away. From bold ideas to thoughtful dialogue, these conversations keep us connected, informed, and inspired.

Join us on Tuesday, August 11th at 11:30 am CDT/12:30 pm EDT for an engaging conversation exploring Kentucky's literacy journey and the progress made since the passage of the Read to Succeed Act. Hear from literacy leaders who have helped shape and support reading instruction across the Commonwealth as they discuss successes, lessons learned, and the ongoing work to ensure every Kentucky student has the opportunity to become a confident, capable reader.

Featuring Brigitte Blom, President and CEO of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, and Brittany Jones and Ciara Wheatley, State Regional Literacy Directors with the Kentucky Department of Education, this discussion will highlight the impact of statewide literacy initiatives, the power of collaboration among educators and communities, and the promising future of literacy in Kentucky.
