John Y Brown III Selected as Leadership Louisville Connector

April 2010

Leadership Louisville’s Connectors are 128 ‘trusted leaders’ in the Metro Louisville and Southern Indiana area. Citizens made over 5500 nominations of community leaders who could be identified by the following traits.

•  Who is innovative and brings big picture ideas to projects?

•  Who has expertise or expert knowledge to turn great ideas into reality?

• Who has integrity, concern for the common good and the guts to help get things done?

• Who is effective at implementing and would roll up their sleeves to see work through with you to the   end?

• Who would you depend on to help bring together and wisely coordinate resources to meet challenges?

• Who in your own neighborhood or local community could you depend on to make the area the best in the world?

• Who would you go to for advice outside of your own race, class, social circle, gender, religion, age group

From over a million citizens in the region 128 were selected because they are viewed as trusted thinkers, innovators and doers who bring people together for the common good. ‘Connectors’ are successful in getting things done because of their distinctive style of “trusted leadership.” 

This project provides the first of its kind opportunity to identify and recognize the often unsung individuals as well as traditional leaders in positions of authority who all have the ability to create and influence positive change.
