Fall is a great time to support your community, whether getting your pumpkin spice fix at a local coffee shop, attending a high school football game, or soaking up the final weeks of the farmer’s market.

One more thing to add to your fall bucket list: growing your professional network. Don’t let your calendar fill up without penciling in these networking opportunities at upcoming Bullitt County Chamber of Commerce events:
  • Women in Business Luncheon | Friday, Sept. 6 | 11 a.m.-1 p.m. | Kicking things off with pumpkin spice + business advice is an expert panel of women in business from the University of Louisville, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives, and Springhill Winery.

Tickets include admission, a program, access to private wagering windows, a chef’s buffet, and a cash bar. Plan ahead: You might be a little hoarse for the rest of the weekend.
  • October Open Networking Luncheon | Thursday, Oct. 10 | 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. | Enjoy the ultimate working lunch by connecting with local business leaders or discovering opportunities to grow your business.
  • Bullitt County Chamber Annual Dinner | Thursday, Oct. 24 | 6-8:30 p.m. | Celebrate the achievements of local business leaders and see what the Louisville business community has been up to throughout 2024.

Applications are open for the 2025 Louisville Metro Youth Cabinet, a semi-new program aimed at getting young people involved with local government. The advisory board is open to Louisvillians ages 16-24.

Fun fact: 37% of the greater Louisville area’s population is under the age of 30.

The inaugural 2023 Metro Youth Cabinet hosted youth outreach events like a vendor fair, youth panel discussions, and documentary screenings as part of National Youth Violence Prevention Month.

The Cabinet also launched Amplify 502 Youth, an opportunity for the community to nominate young people who have overcome systemic barriers and set a good example through service or volunteering.

Applications for the 2025 Youth Cabinet are due Monday, Sept. 30. Cabinet members receive a $1,000 stipend and the opportunity to complete 40+ community service hours, in addition to attending city events and working with community leaders.
