HEIDI PATTERSON

President, Hartlage Management Co.

Heidi Patterson is passionate about helping our community grow and prosper.

Patterson was born and raised in Elizabethtown. She graduated from Elizabethtown High School before attending Hollins College in Roanoke, VA. After several years working for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co., Patterson returned to Elizabethtown to join Hartlage Management Co.

Patterson's experiences in the tourism industry gave her perspective on the importance of community development, which is a key factor in her desire to serve on the ECTC Foundation Board.

"ECTC is such a vital piece of our community.  ECTC prepares its students to work in our local businesses," Patterson said. "ECTC also takes extra steps by creating assistance programs to enable all who want to continue their education to have that opportunity."

Patterson is also a member of the Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Bureau, the Industrial Foundation, and the Central Kentucky Community Foundation.

"The opportunity to participate in these organizations has meant so much to me by enabling me to be a part of great change in our area," Patterson said.

Patterson has four children who were raised in Elizabethtown and now reside in Cincinnati, Chicago, Charlotte, and Lexington, as well as two pups, Phoebe and Milly.
