Les Fugate Executive VP, Chief Operating Officer at Center Centre graduate, originally from Prestonsburg, KY, assumed post today By Sharon Dodson News from the Center for Rural Development President and CEO Lonnie Lawson of The Center for Rural Development announces that effective February 1, 2011, Les Fugate has been named Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at The Center for Rural Development in Somerset, KY. Fugate, originally from Prestonsburg and most recently of Louisville, comes to The Center after spending seven years as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the office of former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson. Grayson recently resigned the post to take a position with the Institute of Politics at Harvard University. "The Center is pleased to bring Les Fugate onboard as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer," Lawson said. "I'm confident that Les is capable of increasing efficiency at our great organization. He is a highly accomplished individual, and I'm certain his work will positively affect the growth of all of The Center's programs and services that are changing the lives of the citizens we serve." As Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Fugate oversaw the office's communications efforts including serving as the office spokesperson and webmaster for its internationally acclaimed website. He also worked extensively on the office's legislative initiatives, in which he partnered with other staff to pass and implement the Secretary's expansive legislative agenda. Fugate is a graduate of Focus Louisville, Ignite Louisville, and the Leadership East Kentucky program. He also participated in Leadership Louisville's Bingham Fellow's Program, and is a former member of the Election Assistance Commission's (EAC) Working Group on Media and Public Relations for the EAC's Election Management Guidelines. Additionally, he has been profiled in Velocity Weekly as one of fourteen next generation leaders in Louisville, as well as by Business First as a 40 under 40 leader for Louisville, and was honored as the recipient of the 2007 Jennifer Schaaf Memorial Award for excellence in government communications from the Bluegrass Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Fugate earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Centre College and a master's degree in higher education administration from Vanderbilt University. "I am extremely honored by the opportunity to join the already accomplished team at The Center," Fugate said. "It has always been a goal of mine to give back to my native region of Eastern Kentucky, and I can think of no better way of doing that than through the excellent programs that The Center provides. This is really a dream opportunity to work with the talented people of Southern and Eastern Kentucky to move our local communities forward." The Center for Rural Development is located at 2292 S Hwy Ste 260, Somerset, KY This story was posted on 2011-02-01 15:46:25
