Natalie Crane, principal of Hendron-Lone Oak Elementary, was selected to attend the Kentucky Chamber Foundation’s Leadership Institute for School Principals program this year. Crane is one of 45 participants from across the Commonwealth chosen for this year-long, executive-level leadership training course, usually reserved for the nation’s top CEOs.
Leadership Institute for School Principals offers public- and private-school principals in Kentucky an opportunity to receive powerful individual leadership training, provided by the Truist Leadership Institute, that is customized to meet the specific leadership development needs of school administrators.
Throughout thirteen years of the program, the Foundation’s Leadership Institute for School Principals has invested over $4.4 million to train over 600 elementary, middle, and high school principals, impacting 112 counties and over 2,979,508 students in Kentucky.
The Leadership Institute is provided at no cost to principals. This $18,000 training is provided to the participants through an in-kind donation of $12,500 per principal from the Truist Leadership Institute. The remaining $5,500 per principal is provided through match donations from members of Kentucky’s business community.
Each year, the Leadership Institute holds an application period for the upcoming class. The principals are chosen by the Leadership Institute’s board of managers, which is made up of Kentucky business leaders and school superintendents.
