As you
know, Greater Louisville is in the middle of a regional visioning campaign to
transform Louisville
into the Idea Capital of the World: Where Imaginations and Individuals Thrive. You
can learn more and get engaged in the discussion at www.KIX.com , where 1,600 of
your friends and neighbors are discussing new ideas and gaining momentum to
make them a reality.
In last
week’s Courier-Journal, Kevin Wardell, chair of the Regional Leadership
Coalition (RLC), penned an op-ed encouraging all community members to get
engaged with the visioning process. He wrote:
Ideas
have long been nurtured in our fertile community soil and spread throughout the
world with entrepreneurial zeal. Each generation adds to this legacy, and now
it is our chance. The Regional Leadership Coalition, working with the Wired65
initiative, has united leaders in business, education and government throughout our 26-county, bi- state
region around a bold new course that will
help create jobs, improve our quality of life, and create sustainable communities.
The only sustainable advantage is innovation. Our region will rise or fall on ideas.
By becoming the idea capital of the world, we will create a home for
innovation, an easy place to start a business, a locale where risk-takers are
embraced, and an area where innovators flourish not only in business, but in
education, government and society.
We will only succeed when all of us succeed, and for that we need your help. Answer
the question "What's your idea?" and share it with us today.
