The challenge for the Bingham Fellows Class of 2009...
Creating a Cool Region: the Next Generation of Talent
 The issue: How do we identify the next generation of talent who will help create a cool region, to attract the jobs and workforce of the future?
Corporations are struggling with the challenge. And so are communities.
That's why we need your leadership skills as part of the 2009 Bingham Fellows class to help to develop innovative solutions.
This issue is a key component to the regional economic development strategy currently underway by Greater Louisville Inc. and the Wired 65 initiative.
Learn more about the topic and find out how to apply.
Applications for the Bingham Fellows Class of 2009 are being accepted now through Dec. 19. Know someone with the passion, energy and talent needed for creating change around this exciting topic?
