The mayor of Elizabethtown has been honored with the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) President’s Pathfinder Award.
Mayor Jeff Gregory on Tuesday received the award in recognition of his impact in the community, the school said in a press release.
ECTC established the award to recognize college partners whose leadership has created paths to better lives throughout our region.
“It is our honor to recognize Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory with the ECTC President’s Pathfinder Award,” said ECTC President and CEO Dr. Juston Pate. “We’re celebrating his broad contribution to the community, but I must also note his whole-hearted support of the college. We cannot succeed as a college without strong support from our local community leaders.”
Pate noted Gregory’s role in economic development projects including Blue Oval SK Battery Park as well as the city’s support of ECTC initiatives such as the Family Scholar House Home for Hope.
Gregory accepted the award at ECTC’s second annual Community Breakfast.
“I was humbled and honored to receive the President’s Pathfinder Award from ECTC and my dear friend Dr. Pate,” Gregory said. “The many partnerships in this community are what makes this place and people so special. Big things are happening in Elizabethtown and we are ready for the challenge.”
