Extraordinary Speaker Series


On September 10th the guest speaker for the Extraordinary Speaker Series was Mr. Kevin Webb.

Kevin Webb is a co-owner of Webb/Taylor Horseback Riding and Boarding in Glasgow,KY. Kevin and his partner were invited to participate in a statewide project to expand selfemployment opportunities and supports in Kentucky through an inventive partnership between VR, the Governor's Council, State and local SBDC's, the University of Kentucky and Griffin-Hammis Associates.

Kevin and Ron's business was funded by VR and the Governor's council with additional funding support though Griffin-Hammis Associates assistance in developing a fully funded PASS exceeding $20,000 from SSA and $9000 from other sources. His business ownership has now renewed his energy and enjoyment of work.
