Opportunity to attend the East Kentucky Leadership Conference

KFTC is able to send up to 10 KFTC members to the East Kentucky Leadership Conference in Somerset next week. The event will take place from Thursday morning, April 24, through Friday afternoon, April 25. We are providing stipends on a first-come-first-serve basis to members. If you are interested in attending, contact organizer Sara Pennington at [email protected] or 606-276-9933 to put your name down on the list. 

Here is information about the conference from an email from Rep. Hal Rogers's office:

The Conference is designed to bring together leaders and community members from all walks of life and throughout eastern Kentucky to discuss issues important to the region, share ideas and devise solutions to problems that have kept the region from reaching its fullest potential.

The conference theme, “Transforming Crisis into Opportunity”, will build upon the SOAR initiative, and will offer participants a unique opportunity to discover and develop creative solutions to problems in the region.

This year, the conference features guest speakers including Congressman Hal Rogers, Governor Steve Beshear, and David C. Wilhelm, Chief Strategy Officer at Hecate Energy. Conference sessions will focus on entrepreneurship, youth engagement, work ready communities, tourism, K12 education, next generation technology and more.
