Norton Healthcare is the presenting sponsor of the Ignite Louisville program.
David Novak’s signature online leadership program added to curriculum
Louisville, Kentucky (April 26, 2109) – Forty-two emerging leaders have been selected for the Leadership Louisville Center’s Ignite Louisville Class of Fall 2019 that will run from April – October 2019. This is the 22nd class of the award-winning program, presented by Norton Healthcare, which has graduated over 950 up-and-coming leaders and offers two classes each year, preparing next-generation talent for expanded roles in their organizations and in the community.
This class will be the first to experience new leadership curriculum with a digital component, oGoLead®, David Novak’s signature online leadership program. The six-month Ignite Louisville experience grows mid-level professionals by developing the key components of leadership, with core curriculum developed by the Leadership Louisville Center and partners including Norton Healthcare, Brown-Forman Corporation, the U.S. Army and new partner oGoLead®. The class puts these lessons to work through the Ignite Louisville Challenge, which is an opportunity to work on a team for a local nonprofit to develop and implement solutions for their needs. The teams compete to do the most good for their nonprofit, gaining hands-on experience performing on a diverse team and serving the community. Since the first class graduated in 2005, Ignite Louisville participants have worked on over 125 projects for area nonprofits to plan, execute and sustain new strategies for success.
