Louisville, Ky. – Kentucky’s young trendsetters, elected officials, and engaged leaders of businesses and industry that will shape our economic and political landscape now have the opportunity to join a network of over 1,000 alumni of The New Leaders Council Institute, one of the top leadership training programs in the country.

NLC’s Kentucky chapter, which is chaired by State Auditor Adam Edelen, is seeking recruits to become the next generation of civic, business and political leaders capable of making a lasting, positive change in their communities and beyond. Nominations for the chapter’s inaugural Institute, held in January, are open now through November 23.

“I am excited that the resources and skills offered by NLC are now available in the Bluegrass State.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Schools near the evacuation area are becoming safe havens for those needing places to stay. The American Red Cross has set up two shelters at Muldraugh Elementary and Stuart Middle School. Colvin Community Center is another option if there's a need for additional space.

Nichols Elementary was closed Thursday because it is within the shelter-in-place zone. Parents whose children go to Nichols could instead drop them off at Bullitt Lick Elementary where teachers and staff were on hand to provide a make-shift daycare for the children.

"You know it's an option," Bonita England said.

LOUISVILLE, KY – On average, twice as many kids are killed while walking on Halloween than on other days of the year.
