Important Update #1, plus Weekly Newsletter

    The big news this week is that we are now recruiting sponsors of our various newsletters and media channels. More on this below. But if you are a decision-maker at an organization, I hope you will consider becoming a ForwardKY sponsor.

Updates

You can now become a Forward Kentucky sponsor!

That’s right – you can now get your organization’s message in front of a key demographic: citizens who are actively engaged in making a difference in our state.

Our readers and viewers are some of the most influential leaders and activists in Kentucky. Having them know your organization’s name, and purpose, and results, can make a big difference in your outreach and in your work.
