Delta Leadership Institute Graduates Four from Kentucky
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Fifty community leaders have successfully completed the year-long Delta Leadership Institute Executive Academy, a program of the Delta Regional Authority. The Executive Academy is a training program that brings together business and community leaders from each of the eight states of the Mississippi River Delta and Alabama Black Belt regions for a collaborative leadership development experience, emphasizing regional approaches to growing local economies and creating opportunities for the people of the Delta region.
Each graduate completed leadership development coursework and field studies in the year-long program that included five sessions in Delta communities and one session in Washington, DC.
Four DLI fellows represented the Commonwealth of Kentucky this year:
Brandi Harless of PaducahMark Lee of MadisonvilleMayor Carolyn Townsend of DixonChris Wooldridge of Murray“These four local leaders are devoting their time and talent to create a better Kentucky,” said Gov. Matt Bevin. “As graduates of this rigorous leadership program, they will now have new skills and resources to help move their communities forward and strengthen local economic development opportunities.”
In addition to the program certificate, participants graduate with an industry-recognized certification in Crucial Conversations. Present for the ceremony were Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, DRA Federal Co-Chairman Chris Masingill, Alternate Federal Co-Chairman Mike Marshall, and Sandy Dunahoo, commissioner of the Department of Local Government and Governor Bevin’s designee to the DRA Board.
“For our communities to grow and support strong economies that create opportunities for Delta residents, we need local leaders that understand the local and regional challenges that we face as well as the networks and resources that can help identify solutions and address these challenges,” Chairman Masingill said. “The Delta Leadership Institute’s dynamic programming and ever-growing alumni network are helping to meet this need and empower our region’s leaders to make the Delta a better place to live and work.”
