Approximately $400,000 invested
Thanks to generous donations from businesses throughout the state, 48 school principals will be attending the Kentucky Chamber Foundation’s Leadership Institute for School Principals in late June and mid-July. Through a grant from the AT&T Foundation and donations from Chamber members and non-members alike, principals selected for the program will attend at no cost to themselves. The participants were selected by an advisory board made up of business leaders and school superintendents.
“The AT&T Foundation’s focus is to keep kids in school. We felt that the Leadership Institute was a perfect pilot program to see if leadership training for principals can make a difference in school systems,” said Mary Pat Regan, AT&T Kentucky president. "I'm thrilled that Chamber members across the state stepped up to match our initial AT&T grant.
Announced in March, the institute is a pilot program that offers public and private school principals an opportunity to receive powerful leadership training from the nationally acclaimed Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), a top-ranked global provider of executive education founded in 1970. Its education and nonprofit section was established in 1988. Numerous Kentucky corporations use CCL to provide training for their executives.
“Employers understand the positive impact of strong leadership in the workplace, and the same is true of schools,” noted Dave Adkisson, secretary of the Kentucky Chamber Foundation and president and CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. “Our Chamber members are investing about $400,000 this summer so Kentucky principals are given executive-level training."
The cost for each principal to attend is about $8,000 with all expenses paid. Contributions to the Leadership Institute are still being accepted. To donate, contact Kelly Wolf at 502-848-8725.
