Special to the Enterprise
Barbra Ledford, a teacher at Harlan Elementary School, has been named president of the Friends of KET Board of Directors, a statewide network of volunteers who work to advance KET’s mission in their communities.

She is a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT), and for the past eight years, she has served as an NBCT mentor. She currently serves as president of the Harlan County 4-H Council, and in 2009 she was elected to the 4-H Centennial Hall of Fame. Ledford is a former board member for the Harlan County Boys and Girls Club and the Harlan County Cooperative Extension and has served on many Kentucky education committees and task forces.
