Kay Bowman graduates from Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute Local medical equipment company owner is one of two from Adair County among 27 in South Central Kentucky to complete the training. Also graduating November 12, was Sharon Burton LEXINGTON, KY -- After 18-months of intensive leadership and entrepreneurial training, Kaye Bowman has graduated from the Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute. Bowman and 26 other entrepreneurial leaders, advocates and coaches throughout South Central Kentucky received this prestigious honor on November 12, 2009, in Bowling Green, KY. As a graduate of the Institute, Bowman has completed a series of eight seminars that were each two to three days in length and has also participated in study tour rural communities throughout the Western United States. Throughout the program, she learned to identify assets and weaknesses of the local community, worked to expand the creativity of community members and political leaders, developed cross-county partnerships, and has linked local entrepreneurs and small business owners with additional resources to assist them in the development of their business. Bowman is a native of Adair County, although she has lived and worked all over the United States and overseas. She currently owns and operates a small farm in Adair County. Bowman is an entrepreneur, who established a medical equipment company. She is extremely active in numerous civic organizations including: Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, and LEAD Adair County Training Board of Directors. Bowman's passion is travel and experiencing new cultures and meeting the people in new places."If current self-employment trends continue roughly one quarter of all rural workers will be self-employed in the next six years," said Katie Ellis, Program Coordinator for the Institute. "Through their work in the Institute, Fellows are exploring ways to help tobacco-dependent communities throughout South Central Kentucky make this a reality." Bowman is a tremendous asset to Adair County and South Central Kentucky as she strives to encourage diversification among both the agricultural and business sectors. She is trained as an entrepreneurial coach and is a resource for entrepreneurs who want to start a new business or expand an existing business. "Individuals who were awarded the Fellowship come from a variety of backgrounds representing agriculture, business, marketing, and civic and economic development groups. Throughout the program, participants learned new skills that they can use to invigorate entrepreneurship in their counties," said Ron Hustedde, Extension Rural Sociologist with the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. Hustedde serves as a director of the program. The Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute is funded by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board and administered University of Kentucky College of Agriculture's Cooperative Extension Service in cooperation with the Center for Rural Development in Somerset.
