LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Forty-one community leaders have been selected to participate in the Leadership Louisville Center’s Bingham Fellows Class of 2019. The topic for the 2019 Bingham Fellows will be: “It Takes a Village – Mobilizing Community for Student Success.” The 2019 topic is a critical issue for our community and the class will explore ways that the community and businesses can positively impact student achievement and seek solutions to current barriers to success.
Beginning Feb. 7, participants will be asked to tap into their imagination and talent, gathering critical resources to create social change. They will experience an unmatched practicum in change management and group dynamics to move the needle on this important community issue. Throughout the program year, the class will meet with topic experts, learn from national best practices, and work together to give this issue visibility and momentum for positive change.
The class will gather for the first time at an orientation on Jan. 17, followed by the project reveal of the Bingham Fellows Class of 2018, who will announce their projects around the topic, “A Safe and Thriving City: Strengthening our community’s ability to prevent violence.” This event will be held at the Muhammad Ali Center from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Adding to the significance of the event is that it is the birthday of Muhammad Ali, an incredible man of peace.
