Prompted by the untimely passing of Mary Hammond, the long time executive director of the Paducah Convention & Visitors Bureau, our inaugural STS Marketing College Leadership Legacy Scholarship is dedicated to Mary’s memory and to her extraordinary legacy of leadership. Mary’s leadership was marked by tending to the tasks of today while always laying the groundwork for the future. So too will KTIA’s Leadership Legacy Scholarship program, in that we hope to grow it into multiple scholarships in future years in continued tribute to Mary as well as a memorial to other industry leaders.
