From Courier Journal website:

An invitation to join theHonorable Order of the Kentucky Colonelsis the highest honor the commonwealth’s governor can give.

Kentucky Colonels are all around us. There are 30,000 active members and we see them in movies and hear them sing on the radio. Sometimes they’re civil servants, teachers, first responders, or nurses. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear named every custodianin the Kentucky State Capitol a Kentucky Colonel for their role in keeping our government going in the health crisis of a century.

At its core, the Honorable Order of the Kentucky Colonels is a philanthropic group made of people from all 50 states and 59 different countries, who have a reputation for making their community a better place. The unifying principle among all the colonels is a desire to help other people, Sherry Crose, the executive director of the order, told me.

Some are international celebrities or high-ranking corporate officials with deep pockets and foundational ties. Others make a difference on a much smaller, but no less important scale by aiding local schools, and volunteering at area nonprofits. Together, this influence bolsters the $60 million in grants that the order has provided to 1,800 Kentucky nonprofits since 1951.
