Chair, KECC 2026
Lindy Casebier

Secretary
Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet

The Heart of Team Kentucky is Generosity!

"In the last four years, we've increased the KECC by nearly 60%, and ensured that more of our children, seniors and families received food, shelter, safety, and medical treatment. The KECC has never been more important to the lives of so many - and as this year’s chair, I know we will once again come together to invest in a brighter future for our fellow Kentuckians."

BASIC NEEDS

Hunger. Homelessness. A lack of safe housing and transportation. In communities around Kentucky, individuals and families are facing financial obstacles that prevent a good quality of life.

FAMILY STABILITY

Chronic unemployment. Financial illiteracy. Child abuse and neglect. Every person and every family in every Kentucky community deserves a chance to succeed.

EDUCATION

For all kids, including those with special needs, success in life begins with a quality education. And yet, thousands of children and youth in Kentucky lack the support they need to develop literacy, stay on track in school, graduate, and find a career.

HEALTH

Cancer, low birthweight, aging services. Kentucky is making progress, but there's more to do. When accessing health services, a person’s zip code should never be a barrier. Yet, for many, that's a daily reality.
