The 2022 OneNKY Summit invited futurist Christopher Rice to keynote how NKY could transform given current national and global trends.  As a result of this conversation, education evolved as a top priority, and the EducationNKY Initiative was launched in March, 2023. Since then, the momentum has only grown, with the OneNKY Alliance driving bold, regional goals across the community. Growth organizations, non-profits, municipalities, and leaders from both business and civic sectors are actively engaging in strategic conversations, securing funding, and forming partnerships to address pressing needs and implement innovative solutions.
