Princeton native Brian Gupton has recently been selected by Leadership Kentucky as a member of the 2024 Leadership Kentucky class.
Leadership Kentucky’s 2024 flagship program consists of seven, three-day sessions between June and December, where participants gather to gain insight on the Commonwealth of Kentucky, its challenges and opportunities. Throughout the sessions, class members meet with many of Kentucky’s current leaders and explore the state’s unique communities and resources. Participants come away from the program having formed lifelong connections.
The June through December program will bring the class across the state: Berea in June, Ashland in July, Hopkinsville and Ft. Campbell in August, Louisville in September, Paducah and Eddyville in October, Central Kentucky and Frankfort in November, and Northern Kentucky in December. The sessions cover topics ranging from business and economic development, arts and tourism, natural resources and the environment, education, healthcare, social issues, agriculture, and government.
Gupton currently leads Dataseam, an education and workforce development organization. Based in Louisville, the non-profit currently serves 55 K-12 districts representing nearly 40% of Kentucky’s public school students.
This year’s class includes 52 participants from across the Commonwealth representing a variety of public and private sectors.
