The Council is pleased to recognize Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher for his efforts promoting physical activity to Kentuckians through the Get Healthy Kentucky (GHK) Governor’s Challenge.  GHK is the statewide wellness initiative launched by Gov. Fletcher earlier this year to help residents improve physical activity and nutrition habits and to reduce tobacco usage.  The GHK Governor’s Challenge partnered with the President’s Challenge to encourage people of all ages, organizations, and businesses to be active and to track that activity on-line using the President’s Challenge website.  By completing any one of the different award programs, residents are eligible to earn a variety of prizes.

Look for the President’s Challenge exhibit at the following locations:

• March 1-4 at the California Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, & Dance meeting in Sacramento
• March 13-17 at the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, & Dance annual meeting in Baltimore
• March 29-April 1 at the National Association of Elementary School Principals annual meeting in Seattle
