Meet the Class

The Bingham Fellows Class of 2010 has the opportunity to effect social change through the exploration of quality of life from the perspective of greening and sustainability.

The Fellows have the potential to create a "green" culture - a community that understands how care of the environment creates a better quality of life. The upcoming program year begins in January and ends in the fall of 2010 with the mission to integrate ecological principles and stewardship with community and business practices.

About the Bingham Fellows
The Bingham Fellows is Leadership Louisville Center's community action program and for over 20 years has provided creative leadership solutions to some of the region's most pressing problems.  The program brings together groups of passionate, informed, dedicated leaders to use a creative problem-solving process to address real community issues.

A peer-led experience
Participants in the Bingham Fellows class shape their own experience. Putting their advanced leadership skills into action, participants work in small groups to further explore the topic and implement solutions.  This process is peer-led and activities are peer-executed. 

Who participates?
The Bingham Fellows program is comprised of graduates of other Leadership Louisville Center programs including Focus Louisville, Ignite Louisville, Leadership Louisville and the Leadership Network.  Graduates of other community leadership programs are also encouraged to participate.
