The 44th Class of Leadership Northern Kentucky was announced Friday – and it’s a group full of the region’s top leaders that includes one of LINK nky’s own.
Leadership Northern Kentucky is a Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce program that takes participants across communities to learn about the region’s strengths and challenges, according to the chamber.
The 10-month course is designed to teach “the skills necessary to motivate and engage others in collaborative efforts to address” those challenges.
