R. J. Corman Signaling’s Shane Burks II Selected to Join the 2025–26 Leadership Lexington Class

We are proud to announce that Shane Burks II, R. J. Corman Signaling Project Manager, has been selected to participate in the prestigious 2025–26 Leadership Lexington program. This marks a significant milestone not only in Shane’s professional journey but also in R. J. Corman’s continued commitment to leadership development and community engagement.

Leadership Lexington has served as the premier leadership development initiative in the greater Lexington, KY area for over four decades. With a highly competitive application and selection process, the program admits only fifty professionals each year. Participants engage in ten immersive day-sessions hosted by local leaders, gaining firsthand insight into Lexington’s community dynamics, signature industries, and public issues. Each class also completes up to four community-based projects, selected and led by the participants themselves.

The program’s mission is to prepare emerging leaders to meet the challenges facing Lexington by fostering deeper understanding and collaboration across sectors. Through educational experiences and meaningful connections, Leadership Lexington empowers participants to broaden their perspectives and become catalysts for positive change.

Reflecting on his selection, Shane Burks II shared:
“I am truly honored and privileged to be a member of the 2025–26 Leadership Lexington class. This opportunity is one I deeply value, and I am committed to challenging myself to grow both personally and professionally. I look forward to learning from and engaging with fellow leaders in our community, and I am excited to bring back invaluable knowledge and connections to R. J. Corman. Together, we will continue to foster growth and innovation within our organization and community.”
