Last year’s inaugural class served as pilot for a new regional leadership development program, with representatives from Ballard, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Christian, Crittenden, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, Marshall, McCracken and Trigg counties.
The program was created to promote regionalism and build a network of informed citizens across community lines. And the outcome desired is to instill pride in the region and focus on encouraging participants to be active in their region and community.
TVA is the presenting sponsor, with The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce serving as the administrator.
Curriculum includes leadership development, education on issues facing the region, relationship-building and awareness of the attributes and uniqueness of each county.
The class meets monthly through May in locations throughout the region, and the one-day sessions will focus on a featured community as well as regional topics such as transportation, education, economic development, quality of life, advocacy, agriculture and tourism.
