Education Trailblazer Gene Wilhoit Takes the Stage

[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space][ultimate_heading main_heading_color=”#ffffff” sub_heading_color=”#ffffff” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Playfair Display|font_call:Playfair+Display|variant:900″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:900;” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:28px;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto” sub_heading_font_size=”desktop:16px;”]Gene Wilhoit, a nationally respected figure in education reform, has devoted his career to improving education outcomes. His impactful journey includes over a decade as Kentucky’s Education Commissioner during the state’s pivotal moment of leadership on the national stage. It was under his guidance that Kentucky orchestrated a transformative shift in standards, assessments and skills development – and began our ascent in the national rankings.

In this keynote address, Wilhoit will take us on a profound exploration of education’s evolution. He’ll trace its trajectory from the groundbreaking “A Nation at Risk” report to the present day and beyond. This is a valuable opportunity to gain a comprehensive perspective on the strides made, as well as the substantial work that still lies ahead, in pursuit of a more robust and equitable education landscape.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of the conversation that sets the direction for Kentucky’s future.[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row background_color=”rgba(39,114,35,0.21)” css=”.vc_custom_1690302567846{padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 12% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 12% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” background_color=”rgba(39,114,35,0.21)” css=”.vc_custom_1691429963111{margin-right: 10% !important;margin-left: 10% !important;padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 12% !important;padding-left: 12% !important;}” bg_color_value=”#a44f8c”][vc_column][vc_column_text single_style=”” el_class=”aidtext”]
