May Connections Newsletter

Posted on: May 7, 2018

A note from Janice Way, President:

Thanks to those of you who participated in the Alumni Survey last month. You gave us great feedback for planning future alumni activities. The LKY Board of Directors and staff are reviewing all the responses and will share your suggestions in upcoming newsletters.

Even though it’s only May, we are starting to plan for 2019 and the 35^th Anniversary of Leadership Kentucky! One important way to help ensure you receive communication about all the festivities is to ensure we have your correct contact information. You will see a link below to update your info.

Leadership Kentucky and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives (KCCE) recently hosted about 30 representatives from local leadership programs around the state for a day of networking, idea sharing, and brainstorming about ways to work together on leadership programming initiatives. The day was so well-received, it is planned to become an annual event!

Also included this month, see the video from the Orientation Session for the 2018 Elevate Class and a reminder about the generous donation from Elmer Whitaker.

A reminder of our exciting news! Leadership Kentucky’s board chair, Elmer Whitaker, is making an extremely generous contribution to assist class members and enhance programming for decades to come. With an initial donation of $60,000, Elmer is creating a scholarship fund to assist LKY candidates from Eastern Kentucky. He is also committing to a match of up to an additional $100,000 to encourage others to support the fund. Matching donations should be received by November 1. When the full amount is reached, investment income from the fund will support scholarships and programming that will enrich leadership opportunities in the Eastern Kentucky region. Many of you may be interested in helping with this initiative. Please feel free to contact Elmer or me for additional information regarding the intent and how to contribute to the fund. Those interested in supporting a similar initiative in other parts of the state can reach out to me for details on how to create a fund. Thank you, Elmer!
