Meet the Community Leaders

George Lusby
Scott County Judge Executive

“Georgetown – Scott County is the best place in the world to live. I’ve been saying that for years. The greatest asset we have is our ability to work together. Our city and county governments partner with the school system, the Chamber of Commerce, Georgetown College and local businesses in a lot of creative ways. That spirit of cooperation and teamwork makes this community great.”











Dr. Dallas Blankenship
Superintendent, Scott County Schools

“Scott County is a community that wants to improve and be the best in a number of areas – education is one of these. There’s a lot of pride here. It’s a place people want to come to.”













Nancy Brown
Community Volunteer

“Georgetown is such a positive place. There are ways for everyone to volunteer and make a difference. We have a lot of good people who really care.”













Jack Conner
Executive Director, Georgetown-Scott County Chamber of Commerce

“I came here in 1979. Looking back over the last 22 years, I feel extremely good about all that the citizens of the county have been able to accomplish. We’ve been able to progress economically, but have also been able to maintain our sense of past and our heritage. That’s what a dynamic community is all about.”











Dr. William Crouch
President, Georgetown College

This community has had some significant challenges, to which its people have risen and met, face-on. The leaders here have learned the rare skill of cooperating and planning together as a team. This ability has served as springboard that will get us well into the next decade in excellent shape.”











Shirley Kettenring
Mayor of Stamping Ground

“There’s a loving, caring spirit here in Scott County. We have a lot to offer for both businesses and families who want to locate in Kentucky. Here, people know how to work and they know how to be good neighbors. That means that we have a great work force and a tremendous quality of life. I don’t know of any better place!”











Everette Varney
Mayor of Georgetown

"Georgetown has a hometown feel and the good work ethic you would expect in a small Kentucky community. People here have a real ability to work together and meet big goals. Scott Countians are not the kind of people that always make excuses. Instead, they look for ways to get things done.”











Kim Marshall
Immediate Past President, Georgetown-Scott County Chamber of Commerce

“I like the quaintness of life here. We have the ability to walk down the street and say hello to people you pass by, because they’re your friends and neighbors. We have vibrant businesses and Chamber of Commerce members take pride in this community and get involved in ways you don’t see in a bigger city.”











Luther Mason
Member, Scott County Board of Education

“I’ve lived in Scott County all my life. It’s a better place to live than any other place I’ve visited. Education is a high priority here. The huge amount of community support ensures that children here get an excellent education.”












Kim Menke
Manager of Community Relations, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky

“I love life here in Georgetown. It’s such a nice, quaint community. We have all the amenities of a big city nearby, but not the problems of a big city. My wife and I moved here from Indianapolis in 1987 and this has become home. The folks here in this community have made it very inviting.”











John Travs
Scott County High School

“The attitude in Scott County about education is very positive. I don’t know if there’s a better school system to work in. It helps that our mayor and county judge executive are former teachers. Once an educator, always an educator – that’s a big plus for all of us.”












Resa Wright Browning
Downtown Georgetown Business Owner

“Georgetown’s downtown is still compact and viable. We have some very unique retailers in some very historic commercial storefronts. Our customers are extremely loyal, which has been essential to our downtown remaining vibrant.”
