The Next Steps for myNKY

Thank you to all of my local readers who shared their voice with the myNKY campaign. I’ve been an ambassador for the myNKY campaign for the last six months and there has been such a great response to this campaign.

Thank you to everyone who participated in shaping the future of Northern Kentucky by playing the game, sharing your ‘bubble’ and taking the online polls.

Here is a little glimpse of the impact you’ve had. Nice work!

So, what’s next? Well, now the myNKY committee begins the strategic planning process with the more than 11,000 responses they received over the last six months. Here are some more details….

“The myNKY community visioning outreach effort has selected the members of a leadership team that will help to create and lead the plan for the future of Northern Kentucky.

The 27 team members represent a variety of generations, geographies, organizations, industries, and beliefs to ensure the next vision for Northern Kentucky is as representative of the population’s wants and needs as possible. The team will be co-led by Sharmili Reddy, a senior planner with the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission and Geoff Mearns, President of Northern Kentucky University.

The members will be empowered to work with the community—both individuals and partner organizations—to craft the next strategic plan for Northern Kentucky. Over the course of the upcoming months the team will develop a partner-led working groups structure designed to ensure local expertise is properly tapped throughout the data gathering and idea generation phase of the community planning process.”
