The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Foundation has announced 36 principals that have been chosen to attend a year-long executive level leadership training course through Truist Leadership Institute that is usually reserved for the nation’s top CEOs.
In the program’s tenth year, the Leadership Institute for School Principals Advisory Board, made up of business leaders and school superintendents, chose 36 principals to attend classes this summer at the Truist Leadership Institute in Greensboro, North Carolina, in partnership with the Kentucky Chamber Foundation. The Truist Leadership Institute has customized a program to meet the specific leadership development needs of school administrators. Principals will also attend follow-up sessions in the fall and early next year in Kentucky.
Elementary, middle and high school principals from across Kentucky representing both public and private schools applied for the institute, which is supported by generous donations from businesses across the state. Over the past ten years, more than $3 million has been spent on over 400 principals from 95 Kentucky counties since the program began in 2011.
“The business community takes great pride in supporting the Leadership Institute for School Principals,” said Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts. “Employers recognize the value of effective leadership in the private sector, and the same is true for schools. As the foundation for our future workforce, we think it is important to give our Kentucky schools every opportunity for success.”
