Leadership NKY is a nine month program designed to help develop business and community leaders by using the community as a classroom to give participants an understanding of the strengths and challenges of the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area and skills convey the necessary motivation and commitment to involve others in a collaborative effort to address them.
“Leadership Northern Kentucky is the most fulfilling work experience I’ve ever had,” said Mark Collier, president of the Leadership NKY Class of 2020 and owner / editor of Living Media and Fort Thomas Matters. “The relationships I have built with my classmates and session leaders, and the intense engagement with our region, have made me a better leader, problem solver, and empathetic collaborator. I can’t think of a more meaningful business leadership experience in Northern Kentucky than Leadership NKY. ”
Leadership NKY participants are selected from a variety of professional backgrounds and civil interests. Each cohort receives extensive training from industry leaders on a variety of topics including economic development, education, government, and inclusive leadership. More than 1,400 alumni have come together under the Leadership NKY program to make a difference in the community.

Stacie Strotman, who completed the program in 2009, will preside over the class of 2022.
