Spark a Ripple Effect of Leadership

Every great leader starts with a moment – an insight, a connection, an unexpected “aha.”

For over 45 years, the Leadership Louisville Center has been the epicenter of these moments, helping thousands of leaders grow their impact while strengthening workplaces, communities, and the region as a whole.

Those transformations often begin with one simple act:
someone who believes in them.
That’s where you come in.

Why We Ask for Your Nominations

We rely on our network of alumni, partners, employers, and community members to help identify the leaders who are ready for their next step. Nominations are accepted year-round, and our team follows up personally with every recommended leader to introduce them to the right program.

If you know someone who embodies curiosity, commitment, and the potential to make meaningful impact, we want to meet them.
