Leaders of Distinction

Leaders of Distinction Award Winners
For over 30 years, Leadership Northern Kentucky has worked to meet our community’s need for active participation of informed and dedicated leaders. The innovative program was designed to educate, challenge and motivate potential leaders, and now has an alumni organization that is more than 900 strong.

To help celebrate the 25th anniversary in 2004, 10 graduates who have made a significant positive impact on the community were selected as Leaders of Distinction. Again, in 2009 as we celebrated the LNK 30th anniversary we inducted an additional 6 graduates. They include:
