Boyd County

Boyd County was split during the Kentucky legislature's 2012 Congressional redistricting process, placing the county seat, Catlettsburg and a southern rural portion of the county in Congressman Rogers service area, while keeping Ashland and the northern half of Boyd County in the Fourth Congressional District.

As part of Congressman Rogers' commitment to the entire Fifth Congressional District, Boyd County now has access to many of the programs that were designed to address common issues and interests in southern and eastern Kentucky, including: The Center for Rural Development, Forward in the Fifth, the Southeast Kentucky Economic Development Corporation (SKED), TOUR Southern and Eastern Kentucky (TOUR SEKY), PRIDE, and Operation UNITE.

Boyd County PRIDE

PRIDE Coordinators

Steve Towler, Boyd County PRIDE Coordinator, 606.739.4134
Marion Russell, City of Ashland PRIDE Coordinator, 606.329.2007
Pat Meade, City of Catlettsburg PRIDE Coordinator, 606.739.9532

PRIDE Coordinators are volunteers who play a vital role in building PRIDE in communities across the region. The coordinators work directly with the PRIDE staff to schedule cleanup activities, recruit volunteers and track cleanup results. PRIDE Coordinators also assist local officials with the PRIDE programs, including applications.

PRIDE invites all mayors and county judge-executives in our 42 county service area to designate a PRIDE Coordinator. Some communities appoint two co-coordinators. In addition, nonprofit organizations that receive PRIDE grants also can appoint coordinators. The length of a PRIDE Coordinator’s term of service is left to the discretion of his or her mayor or judge.

Please call your local PRIDE Coordinator to learn more about PRIDE in your community.
