Locals learn about leadership at Berea College By Linda Waggener Almost every county around has a leadership program and now Adair will too, thanks to the Berea College Brushy Fork Leadership Institute which selected Columbia for its 2005 initiative. The opening sessions were held in Berea on September 16 through 18 with classes on campus and lodging in the historic Boone Tavern Hotel. Thirteen of the fifteen-member Adair County team traveled through pouring rain from the end of Hurricane Ivan to discover what the workshops had to offer our community. In attendance were: Stacey Bailey, Kelli Bonifer, Kaye Bowman, Sarah Durbin, Beverly England, Ben Evans, Charles Grimsley, Lee Ann Jessee, Joe Payne, Monica Rodgers, LeAnna Stone, Linda Waggener and Ellen Zornes. Kathy Hare is also part of the team but was unable to attend this session. The Brushy Fork Institute was founded in 1988 by President John B. Stephenson to promote the development of local leadership in the Appalachian region. Brushy Fork programs are based on the conviction that the people of the Central Appalachian Mountains have within them the vision and commitment they need to guide the region's development. Participants include both recognized community leaders and individuals who have shown leadership potential. Each county group that participates selects a community improvement project to work on during the six-month program. Adair County, on the western edge of Appalachia, was the only Kentucky county selected to participate this year. The two other counties were from West Virginia. Some of the informative training classes centered around: goal setting, personal style inventory, project research for our community, strategies for economic development, the Tupelo Mississippi model, how to (and not to) hold effective meetings, and more.
