You’re cordially invited to attend a very special Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday, June 26th.

We are excited to host US Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell as our guest speaker.

On January 3, 2023, Mitch McConnell became the longest-serving Senate Party Leader in American history, elected to lead the Republican conference nine times since 2006.

From 2015 to 2021, McConnell served as Senate Majority Leader. He is only the second Kentuckian to ever be Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate. The first, Senator Alben Barkley, led the Democrats from 1937 to 1949.

McConnell graduated with honors from the University of Louisville College of Arts and Sciences, where he served as student body president. He also is a graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Law, where he was elected president of the Student Bar Association.

McConnell is married to Secretary Elaine L. Chao, the 18th U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Previously, Secretary Chao served for eight years as President George W. Bush’s Secretary of Labor. She is also a former president of the United Way of America and director of the Peace Corps.

Lunch will be held at The Center for Rural Development and will begin at 12:00 (Noon).

The cost of this luncheon will be $12.00 per person.

Seating will be on a First Come, First Serve basis. We will not reserve individual seating, but will reserve 8-person tables. If you would like to reserve one of these tables, please call our office at (606) 679-7323.
