The Fayette Alliance has announced that founding Executive Director Knox van Nagell is joining UK Healthcare next month.
The move caps a decade of work for van Nagell in building the Fayette Alliance, which promotes sustainable growth in Lexington and Fayette County.
“Knox will be greatly missed, and our organization would not be where it is today without her incredible leadership,” Fayette Alliance Board Chair Don Robinson said in a statement. “The good news for Central Kentucky is that she is moving to a like-minded and highly impactful asset to our community.”
Van Nagell will become senior director of development at UK Healthcare when she begins her new role next month, and will continue to serve the Fayette Alliance on its Board of Directors. Van Nagell stressed the closeness of both groups’ missions, saying she “looks forward to continuing this successful partnership for the future of Lexington-Fayette County and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.”
The Fayette Alliance said information on a search for a new leader and transition plans will be forthcoming.
