The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Foundation has announced 44 principals from across the Commonwealth who will participate in the Leadership Institute for School Principals Class of 2023.
This executive-level leadership training course, typically reserved for the nation’s top CEOs, is offered to Kentucky school principals through the Kentucky Chamber Foundation’s partnership with the Truist Leadership Institute. The principals were selected by business leaders and school superintendents who make up the advisory board of the Leadership Institute for School Principals of the Kentucky Chamber Foundation.
Elementary, middle, and high school principals from across Kentucky representing public and private schools have applied for the institute, which is supported by generous corporate donations from across the state. Over the past 11 years, more than $3.5 million has been spent on more than 500 superintendents in 104 Kentucky counties since the program’s launch in 2011.
The Truist Leadership Institute has customized a program to meet the specific leadership development needs of school administrators. Directors will take classes during the summer at the Truist Leadership Institute in Greensboro, North Carolina, and attend follow-up sessions in the fall and early next year in Kentucky.
“The business community is very proud to support the Leadership Institute for School Principals,” said Ashli Watts, president and CEO of Kentucky Chamber. “Employers recognize the value of effective leadership in the private sector, and so do schools. As the foundation of our future workforce, we believe it is important to give our Kentucky schools every opportunity to succeed.
“As an alumnus of the Leadership Institute for School Principals program and Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees, I know first-hand how much this training impacts our principals,” said Leadership Institute Co-Chair the Dr. Houston Barber, assistant superintendent of Fayette County Public. Schools. “The training these principals receive will be instrumental in building a strong school and community. My participation in this program has had a huge impact on my career and I know it will do the same for these 44 directors.
