KCTCS staff member selected as part of national emerging leaders program

A staff member from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) has been selected for a yearlong program sponsored by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO). Ninda Shirley, associate director of finance and accounting for Institutional Advancement, is one of only 67 chosen to participate in NACUBO’s Emerging Leaders Program.

The program will allow participants the opportunity to enhance their personal leadership skills, examine the impact of the business office and cross-campus relationships, and gain a better understanding of the present state and future of higher education. 

The group selected represents 55 institutions and 32 states. Shirley is the only representative from Kentucky and is joined by colleagues from universities such as Princeton, Vanderbilt and Carnegie Mellon.
