Ramsey Flynn of Winchester, an employee of Bluegrass Community and Technical College, was among 21 who recently completed the 2017-18 Leadership Central Kentucky program. Flynn and others were recognized during a graduation ceremony May 16.

Having completed its 18th year, Leadership Central Kentucky’s mission is to “educate to lead, connect and know our communities.”

Presented by LG&E and KU Energy, participants attended day sessions each month within an eight-county region that includes Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Jessamine, Madison, Scott and Woodford counties. Class members studied community and regional topics such as transportation, education, economic development, quality of life, public advocacy and agritourism. The topics are covered by knowledgeable speakers and panels, tours, interactive exercises and class discussions.
