Success StoryESP LEADS Greenup County Session



ESP LEADS Greenup County Session

Author: Anne Stephens

Planning Unit: Greenup County CES

Major Program: Staff Development

Plan of Work: Promoting Leadership and Community Development

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Leadership, personal growth, and community pride are all themes of Extension agents. As a graduate of the first cohort of ESP LEADS, I have the honor of serving on the planning team for cohort 2. I was able to host the second session in my home county which featured local leaders, our own Greenbo Lake State Resort Park/Jesse Stuart Lodge,the Stuart music/drama program, and elements of local tourism as parts of the lessons provided to attendees. The motivation behind each lesson was to encourage and support leadership, personal growth, and pride in the greater community that we all share: the beauty and talents we find all across Kentucky. The long-term outcome of this event is evident in the relationships that have been formed between Greenup County Extension Service and the eleven community leaders who gave of their time and expertise to take part in the discussion panel, special legislative session, park tours, and evening entertainment.
