Brandon's Path to KSUNAA 40 under 40.

Greetings,

I’m honored to share that I have been nominated to join the Kentucky State University National Alumni Association (KSUNAA) 40 Under 40 Society. This prestigious recognition celebrates KSU alumni under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions in fields such as law, media and the arts, entrepreneurship, community service, faith and spirituality, culinary arts, and more.

Twenty years ago, I began my collegiate journey at Kentucky State University — a decision that profoundly shaped my life. The education I received, the opportunities I embraced, and the relationships I built at KSU laid the foundation for both my personal and professional growth.

My mantra, “Appreciating the Gift in Servitude,” reflects my belief that true leadership begins with service to others — a principle nurtured and strengthened during my time at Kentucky State.

This year also marks the launch of KSUNAA’s first-ever Mentor Class, recognizing young alumni committed to guiding and empowering the next generation of leaders—and I’m proud to be among those considered.

As part of the nomination process, I am required to raise $500 in membership dues by July 30, 2025. I’m reaching out to supervisors, mentors, peers, and past honorees like you for support in reaching this goal. Your contribution, no matter the amount, would mean the world to me and would help me take this important step in both personal and professional growth.

If you’re able to support or would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued encouragement!

Warm regards,

Brandon Lamar Lewis
