The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for Leadership Northern Kentucky, a 10-month program designed to develop business and community leaders.
Leadership Northern Kentucky, which is now in its 48th year, selects participants from a variety of regional industries. Upon acceptance into the program, participants meet once a month for a day-long session on topics such as economic development, inclusive leadership, government and more. Since its founding in 1979, the program has produced over 1,500 alumni.
“Leadership NKY is a program that allows community leaders to explore the challenges and possibilities that exist in our region,” 2013 participant and class of 2027 chair Kimberley Krugel said in a news release. ” (I) look forward to seeing these leaders grow throughout the program and continue to make an impact in our community for years to come.”
Along with a completed application, applicants must have the full support of the company or organization they represent. Contact information for two references is also required. Individuals may nominate themselves or be nominated by another person.
If selected to participate in the program, tuition is $3,650 for NKY Chamber members and $4,250 for non-Chamber members. Tuition covers all program costs. There is a $40 non-refundable application fee. A maximum of 50 applicants will be selected.
Applications are due on May 1. Sessions will kick off in August and run through May 2027. To apply or to nominate an established leader for the Class of 2027, visit NKYChamber.com/LeadershipNKY.
