In 1991, a group of business and education leaders in Northern Kentucky formed the Education Alliance of Northern Kentucky as a non-profit organization to improve educational opportunities in Northern Kentucky. Throughout Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, and Pendleton counties, the initiatives of the Alliance enable public and parochial schools and area businesses to work together to promote educational excellence. Ultimately, these efforts are helping prepare the workforce, which will contribute to the productive and successful future of Northern Kentucky.

The Alliance is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of business representatives, educators, school board members and at-large members from the community. The Board works closely with the staff and volunteer committees to develop and implement initiatives which will best serve the Alliance’s mission.

In addition to the many programs that have been developed over the years, the Alliance strives to facilitate regular communication between business and education leaders in Northern Kentucky. Through such dialogue about mutual concerns and hopes for the young people of Northern Kentucky, the region continues to develop an educational system which will prepare students for a successful transition into adult life, be it into the workforce, advanced training or post-secondary education.
