Rachael Thompson is member of 2026 BRIGHT Kentucky Class From Emma Roggenkamp Frankfort, KY - Leadership Kentucky is proud to announce members of the BRIGHT Kentucky Class of 2026, including Rachael Thompson with Taylor Regional Hospital. BRIGHT Kentucky, which began in 2019, was designed to empower the next generation of leaders (ages 21-40) in Kentucky's Appalachian region. BRIGHT Kentucky drives participants toward innovation, collaboration, community and economic development -- while honoring the vision and values of the foundational leaders who came before them. The program builds on a strong legacy by equipping a new generation with non-partisan, ethical leadership training, and expanded networks designed especially for residents of the 54 Kentucky counties of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The program is made possible through private funding from the Whitaker Foundation, Kentucky Power Foundation, and other generous donors. BRIGHT Kentucky consists of five, three-day sessions providing opportunities for aspiring leaders to connect with peers, develop leadership skills, and gain inspiration to create a positive impact within their communities. The program, which runs from July through November, will take participants across Eastern Kentucky: Berea in July, Columbia/Russell Springs in August, Ashland/Morehead in September, Pikeville/Prestonsburg in October, and Middlesboro/Pineville/Harlan in November. The program kicked off on July 8 with an engaging session on understanding and maximizing the participants' leadership style. This year's class includes 36 participants from 20 ARC counties representing a variety of public and private sectors:
About Leadership Kentucky Leadership Kentucky, created in 1984 as a non-profit educational organization, brings together a diverse group of people who possess a broad variety of leadership abilities, career accomplishments, and volunteer activities to gain insight into complex issues facing the state. By fostering understanding of how the state's issues are interconnected, and by forging new relationships among community and regional leaders, Leadership Kentucky graduates bring a fresh and informed perspective to their communities and companies, serving as important participants in the unified effort to shape Kentucky's future. The Leadership Kentucky Foundation offers four unique programs: Leadership Kentucky, ELEVATE Kentucky (for young professionals), BRIGHT Kentucky (for next generation Eastern Kentucky leaders) and New Executives to Kentucky (for senior level executives who have lived in the state for less than two years).
