Connecting Communities, Creating Opportunities: Annual Meeting and Awards Celebration

For the first time ever, the Northern Kentucky Area Development District will celebrate alongside several of the organizations that help advance our shared vision for the region, including the Northern Kentucky Workforce Investment Board, NKY Works, and the Northern Kentucky Council on Aging. Together, we serve as a transformative and collaborative resource for local governments and community partners, working to promote economic vibrancy in all communities and independent, sustainable lives for all residents.

We invite you to join us as we celebrate these accomplishments at the 2026 Connecting Communities, Creating Opportunities: Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration. This special event will highlight the impact of collaborative efforts across Northern Kentucky while recognizing the contributions of volunteers, board members, staff, elected officials, employers, community organizations, and regional partners. It also provides a unique opportunity to connect with government officials, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, and community stakeholders from throughout the eight-county region.

The event will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at Boone Links Golf Course in Florence, Kentucky. A networking reception will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by lunch and the awards program at 12:00 p.m.
