FRANKFORT, Ky. (August 24, 2026) — Leadership Kentucky is now accepting nominations for the New Executives to Kentucky program, which will take place on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
New Executives to Kentucky is a one-day complimentary program designed to highlight signature Kentucky experiences and thought-provoking discussions about exciting opportunities in our Commonwealth. The program includes tours of Kentucky’s signature bourbon and horse industries, along with discussions on Kentucky’s economic outlook and public policy. This program is designed for senior-level executives, and their spouses, who are new to living and working in Kentucky and have relocated from another state or country during the last three years.
In collaboration with the Cabinet for Economic Development, New Executives provides an immersive, exclusive, and unforgettable introduction to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, that is designed to introduce senior-level executives to Kentucky’s history, economy, and other leaders who have roles in shaping its future. New Executives is an invitation-only event and is free of charge thanks to the generous support of these partners: LG&E-KU, US Bank, CHI St. Joseph Health, RunSwitch PR, Anthem, Brown-Forman, KCTCS, Kentucky Historical Society, and Stites & Harbison.
