The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the Leadership Northern Kentucky (Leadership NKY) Class of 2023, which will mark the 44th year of the program.
It began in 1969.
Leadership NKY is a 10-month program designed to help develop business and community leaders and to gain an understanding of the strengths and challenges of the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area.
The class meets once a month for a day-long session on different topics like economic development, cultural competence and government.
Kenneth Webb of Republic Bank is the Class of 2023 Chair.
“It is my honor and privilege to serve as the first African American Chair of Leadership Northern Kentucky, hopefully not the last,” Webb said. “I look forward to leading and guiding the LNK Class of 2023, another diverse class of leaders. I believe we have the potential to transform the lives of the participants and the communities in our footprint.”
Leadership NKY participants are selected from a variety of job sectors and civic interests with more than 1,400 alumni.
Along with a completed application, applicants will need two letters of recommendation and the support of the company or organization they represent, as well as their employer or supervisor. Individuals may nominate themselves or be nominated by another person. If chosen, the tuition for NKY Chamber members is $3,000 and $3,500 for non-members. The tuition will cover the cost of all program costs.
There is a $30 non-refundable application fee. A maximum of 50 applications will be selected.
Nominations trigger the application process. Applications will close at 5 p.m. on May 13. Organizers will announce the Class of 2023 this summer, and classes will begin in August with an orientation, then end in May with a graduation celebration.
