PRIDE's Tammie Wilson in prestigious Leadership KY program An officer of Eastern Kentucky PRIDE who has played a major role in helping Columbia and Adair County's program function so well, is participating in the prestigious Leadership Kentucky program. Tammie Wilson, the PRIDE Vice President, was one of 50 Kentuckians selected for the seven-month program, which gives community leaders insight into the complex issues facing the state. "I look forward to establishing new relationships with other leaders across our state," said Wilson, who also serves as PRIDE's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "I am excited to gain new perspectives and ideas from their leadership abilities that I may bring back to my position at PRIDE." "On behalf of the PRIDE Board, I congratulate Tammie on this honor and commend herdedication to being the best possible leader for our region," said Karen Engle, PRIDE President and Chief Executive Officer. "Tammie will be an excellent ambassador for southern and eastern Kentucky, sharing with other Leadership Kentucky participants about the good things happening with our environment." In Adair County, Lisa Lee, who coordinates the PRIDE program from the CJE's office with A.L. Sinclair, commented on Tammie Wilson's involvement with the clean-up program, here, saying, "We're not suprised that Ms. Wilson has been chosen for this honor and this new training. She has been a tremendous help to Adair County, working with the PRIDE Program," Lee said. "We look forward to many more successful years working with her and the PRIDE Program."Columbia City Clerk Carolyn Edwards said the City of Columbia had benefitted from Wilson's assistance, "The City of Columbia is very fortunate to have someone like Tammy Wilson to contribute their time to help improve the environment in our community," she said. Joined PRIDE staff in November 2005 Wilson joined the PRIDE staff in November 2005 as the Deputy Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer. In July 2007, her title became Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. In December 2007, she was elected Vice President of the PRIDE Board of Directors. A graduate of McCreary Central High School, Wilson went on to earn her Bachelors degree in Organizational Management from Midway College and Associates degree in Business Administration from Somerset Community College. She is a 2006 graduate of the Leadership East Kentucky program. She is the daughter of Wayne Meadows of Marshes Siding and Sharon Meadows of Bronston. She now resides in Somerset with her son, Codi Duncan. Wilson attended the opening session of Leadership Kentucky from May 14 through May 16 at the Kentucky Leadership Center in Jabez. In the coming months, she will travel the state from Murray to Pikeville. The program will conclude in Nicholasville in November. Through a series of seven monthly, two-day sessions, held across the state, Leadership Kentucky participants learn about the state and its challenges. They talk with Kentucky's current leaders and explore the state's economy, education, health and human services, law and justice, and environment. By visiting various regions of the Commonwealth, participants develop an enhanced view and a new meaning to the word community that spans the entire state. Leadership Kentucky, created in 1984 as a nonprofit educational organization, prepares participants to take an active role in advancing the state for the common good. Each year, 50 to 55 participants are selected through a competitive application process, which considers such factors as proven and potential leadership abilities, civic activity, concern for the community, volunteer leadership, and potential to help build a greater Kentucky. Eastern Kentucky PRIDE is a nonprofit organization that promotes environmental cleanup and education efforts in 38 counties of southern and eastern Kentucky. It was founded in 1997 by Congressman Hal Rogers and the late James Bickford, former Secretary of the Kentucky Environmental Protection Cabinet. This story was posted on 2008-05-16 16:38:44
