Officers; Ron Townsend, Executive Vice President of Battelle’s Global

from the Kentucky P20 Innovation Lab’s Next Generation Leadership Academy,
who work daily to create innovative learning environments for all students
to succeed in school, college and life. The Summit will
launch new and innovative programs and standards such as Kentucky STEMx
