Congrats to the @KyChamber on another successful Women’s Summit! This year, our very own @AmyWickliffe moderated a discussion with @ShayMcAlisterTV, of the Bardstown podcast Shay Informed. During their discussion, they covered the criminal cases explored in the podcast, the importance of honoring the victim’s voice, the evolving media landscape and McAlister’s decision to launch her own independent journalism platform.
The MSS Team also extends a big congratulations to @ReneeKET for receiving the 2026 Women in Leadership award. Well deserved!

Kentucky Chamber President and CEO @AshliWatts testified before Congress on Wednesday in support of the SECURE Data Act, federal legislation modeled after Kentucky’s bipartisan data privacy law.
During the hearing, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman @RepGuthrie highlighted Kentucky’s 2024 law as the framework for the legislation, noting its balanced approach to protecting consumers while supporting business competitiveness.
In her testimony, Watts outlined how the Kentucky Chamber brought together employers, industry stakeholders, retailers, and privacy experts to develop the framework behind House Bill 15, which passed the Kentucky General Assembly with unanimous support.
The SECURE Data Act would establish a national privacy standard, providing businesses with greater clarity and consistency rather than having to navigate a patchwork of state laws.
