Created in 1984, Leadership Kentucky is a nonprofit that brings together a selected group of professionals with a broad variety of leadership abilities, career accomplishments, and volunteer activities to gain insight into complex issues facing the state.
"This is great opportunity to learn more about the diverse regions of our Commonwealth and connect with leaders from other sectors. I am really looking forward to being an ambassador for our nonprofit sector," Clore said.
Founded in 2002, the Kentucky Nonprofit Network (KNN) is an association of organizations of all types and sizes in all 120 Kentucky counties. KNN is a statewide resource for nonprofit board members, staff and other leaders, and serves as an information center on effective nonprofit organizational practices, as well as an advocate for the nonprofit sector as a whole.

Locations for class sessions vary from year to year. Topics covered during this year’s sessions will be leadership, Kentucky history, education, health care, government, energy, military, economic development, media, natural resources and environment, law and justice, regionalism and global issues.
