Leadership Central Kentucky has selected its newest class of regional leaders, who will begin an intensive development program with an orientation retreat August 18-19 at the Historic Boone Tavern in Madison County.

The Leadership Central Kentucky program, presented by Kentucky Utilities, is entering its 25th year of developing leaders across an eight-county region. The selected participants represent a diverse mix of professionals from business, education, the arts, religion, government, and community-based organizations across Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Jessamine, Madison, Scott, and Woodford counties.

The regional leadership development program is designed for established leaders seeking to expand their impact beyond their own organizations and communities. Participants are chosen by the Leadership Central Kentucky Board based on their applications, with attention given to reflecting the diversity of the region’s economy and communities.

“For going on a quarter of a century, the Leadership Central Kentucky program has strengthened regional collaboration by helping participants better understand how the economy of each county impacts the rest of our region,” said Tyra Harbut, Commerce Lexington’s Director of Leadership Development. “I’m excited to see the leaders of this new class come together and learn more about the place we call home.”

Following the mandatory orientation, the program consists of full-day sessions held on the third Wednesday of each month from September through May. Each session takes place in a different county within the region and explores key issues shaping Central Kentucky, including transportation, education, economic development, public advocacy, quality of life, and agri-tourism. Sessions feature expert speakers, engaging tours, hands-on activities, and peer-to-peer discussions. Tuition is $1,500, with a limited number of partial scholarships available.

The program aims to build a network of informed citizens connected across the region who are committed to strengthening their communities through collaboration and civic engagement. More information is available at leadershipcentralkentucky.com.
