LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 2, 2021) Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton announced last week that University of Kentucky Assistant Vice President for Community Engagement Lisa Higgins-Hord will work to implement the Mayor’s Racial Justice and Equality Commission recommendations and other equity issues.
“We’ve made progress on implementing these recommendations, but I want to move faster by placing prominence on this work, so we are giving this effort a huge boost,” Gorton said. “Lisa is going to help us take action on these reforms.”
