Leadership Louisville graduate Susan Duncan, dean of University of Louisville’s Brandeis School of Law, said, “I could not believe being from Louisville and being very involved in the community how many new connections I made. The class opened up different parts of the city for me and different areas of focus. I now have the ability to collaborate with many different fields and professions, which I know will help me professionally and personally. I’m a better citizen now that I have a broader understanding of the city’s challenges and opportunities, and I’m equipped to take responsibility for making the city thrive. The Leadership Louisville experience is incredibly enriching on many levels and I see a bright future with all of the committed leaders I’ve come to know through the program.”
