Robinson Jean & John Rosenberg Alan Stein David Tachau VISION 2015 William H. & Margie Wilson From the Executive Director It is an understatement to say the Prichard Committee is a citizens’ organization. The fact is citizens alone are what give the Prichard Committee the energy and the credibility to push for vast improvements in our schools. And that is no doubt why from the moment I began my tenure as the Committee’s second executive director last September, I have felt so warmly embraced by Kentucky’s civic, business and government leaders. For nearly three decades, our goal has been to develop and unite such leaders to make sure quality education remains at the forefront of Kentucky’s agenda. The ability to mobilize concerned Kentuckians is the key reason the Prichard Committee stands out among education advocacy groups nationwide. It also has resulted in tangible success. Recent highlights include: • Kentucky’s incredible leap from 34th to 14th in the national ranking developed by Quality Counts, which measures student achievement, education reform strategies, finance and indicators of a child’s chance for success; • Governor Beshear’s firm, public stand to support increased funding for pre-k, a nod to our pre-k advocacy work spearheaded by the Business Leadership Council and the Strong Start Kentucky campaign; • Another two classes of parents beginning their Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership training, joining the ranks of more than 1,700 others we have trained to advocate for student achievement; • Strengthened partnerships with several other advocacy groups to amplify our concern about the loss of school funding; and, • The increased reach of our ReadyKentucky campaign, which continues to engage parents, teachers and business and civic leaders in better understanding and promoting Kentucky’s new, more rigorous academic standards. Those who understand the challenges faced by Kentucky’s schools find this type of genuine progress particularly compelling. They know that, in addition to time, real change in education requires the commitment of a countless number of passionate, knowledgeable people with a shared, sustained vision. Kentucky is fortunate to have such committed citizens and friends, and the Prichard Committee is a direct beneficiary of their vision. The hundreds of individuals, businesses and foundations who are listed in these pages offer indisputable proof of that reality. THANK YOU! Elizabeth Graves Tina Moorhead Robert B.

From Halloween until New Year’s Eve, 222 Prichard Committee friends rose to the challenge, contributing over $15,000 to our annual fund and amassing nearly $9,000 in bonus prizes, including: • $1,100 for being among the first of all nonprofits participating to generate 50 donors • $1,111.11 for generating the most donors on 11.11.11 • $2,800 for meeting three of Bill Street’s “Taking it to the Street” challenges • $600 for generating the second most number of donors during the Barlow/Winfield Family Challenge • $2,000 for having the most online donors of all the nonprofits participating • $1,000 for raising the most amount of money of all the nonprofits participating To fund the grassroots work we do serving as the voice for public education in Kentucky in such a grassroots way as online fundraising seems as fitting as it is fortunate.

The fact is citizens alone are what give the Prichard Committee the energy and the credibility to push for vast improvements in our schools. And that is no doubt why from the moment I began my tenure as the Committee’s second executive director last September, I have felt so warmly embraced by Kentucky’s civic, business and government leaders. For nearly three decades, our goal has been to develop and unite such leaders to make sure quality education remains at the forefront of Kentucky’s agenda. The ability to mobilize concerned Kentuckians is the key reason the Prichard Committee stands out among education advocacy groups nationwide. It also has resulted in tangible success. Recent highlights include: • Kentucky’s incredible leap from 34th to 14th in the national ranking developed by Quality Counts, which measures student achievement, education reform strategies, finance and indicators of a child’s chance for success; • Governor Beshear’s firm, public stand to support increased funding for pre-k, a nod to our pre-k advocacy work spearheaded by the Business Leadership Council and the Strong Start Kentucky campaign; • Another two classes of parents beginning their Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership training, joining the ranks of more than 1,700 others we have trained to advocate for student achievement; • Strengthened partnerships with several other advocacy groups to amplify our concern about the loss of school funding; and, • The increased reach of our ReadyKentucky campaign, which continues to engage parents, teachers and business and civic leaders in better understanding and promoting Kentucky’s new, more rigorous academic standards. Those who understand the challenges faced by Kentucky’s schools find this type of genuine progress particularly compelling. They know that, in addition to time, real change in education requires the commitment of a countless number of passionate, knowledgeable people with a shared, sustained vision. Kentucky is fortunate to have such committed citizens and friends, and the Prichard Committee is a direct beneficiary of their vision. The hundreds of individuals, businesses and foundations who are listed in these pages offer indisputable proof of that reality. IN HONOR OF John Adams Cynthia D.
