The History of BDNKY, Inc.

November 19, 2002: A "Louisville Business Community Diversity Networking Meeting" was held and a plan was developed for the Greater Louisville Diversity Roundtable "kick off" meeting.

September 18, 2003: The Greater Louisville Diversity Roundtable "kick off" meeting was hosted by ADP. Companies represented included: ADP, Lexmark, LG&E, Louisville Water Company, Toyota, and U of L. The roundtable was a resounding success, and as a result, the Business Diversity Network of Kentucky (BDNKY) was born.

2006: The BDNKY was incorporated (BDNKY, Inc.), and further established as an information resource to organizations throughout Kentucky on topics related to diversity and inclusion.

Today: The BDNKY, Inc. hosts educational forums and provides information to support diversity and inclusion initiatives in an ever-changing business climate.
