The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce (NKY Chamber) has selected the 42nd class of Leadership Northern Kentucky. The 2021 class will include 41 professionals from businesses and organizations across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.
Founded in 1969, The Leadership NKY program utilizes the community as a classroom to help participants gain an understanding of the strengths and opportunities of the Northern Kentucky region and the skills necessary to motivate and engage others in collaborative efforts to address them. Participants undergo a substantive education by industry leaders across a diverse range of topics, including economic development, education, government, and human services through monthly virtual and in-person sessions.
“The Class of 2021 will be making meaningful connections toward leadership development, community engagement, and regional investment,” said Elizabeth Corbett, Chair of the 2021 Class, Financial Advisor and Partner at Focus On Success. “We are excited to welcome and to work with these class members whom we believe will contribute to the program’s 41-year legacy and inspire others with their grit, vision, and talent.”
