A Word Or Two From Our President:
Hello, Kentucky Dames!
I am beyond grateful to be your LDKY Chapter President. I have worked in hospitality for the past 16 years and have loved every minute of it! I am a founding member of LDKY and am proud of the work we have accomplished thus far.
I am also super excited that the Les Dames International (LDEI) Conference will be hosted by Kentucky this year! Mark your calendars for October 5-7 and be ready to dive into everything LDEI has to offer right here in our backyard while showing chapters from around the world the depth of Kentucky hospitality. You will not want to miss this!
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Temple Grandin and Toni Tipton Martin who will be our keynote speakers for this year’s conference. Between tours, keynotes, educational breakouts, and tasty food – this conference is bound to be tons fun! And don’t forget your Derby hat. We will celebrate at the Speed Art Museum with our fascinators and Mint Juleps in tow.
In addition to conference, we have several events planned for our KY Dames and friends. They range from educational to philanthropic, and some that are simply FUN! All events allow KY Dames to network, learn, and reach our 2023 grant goal. I look forward to seeing you at each event! Please reach out to me about any questions you may have at kelley.miracle@atriaseniorliving.com And don’t forget to follow us on our social media platforms so you can be the first to know about LDKY events!
I’m looking forward to seeing all of you very soon,
Kelley Miracle
