Derby City Colonels Louisville Chapter The Kentucky Colonels is an independent, nonprofit organization with the purpose of aiding and promoting the Commonwealth and its citizens.

The Louisville Area Chapter of the Kentucky Colonels promotes its general mission to support charitable organizations and endeavors that serve our citizens while inspiring renewed engagement amongst fellow colonels residing within our chapter parameters. Membership to the the Louisville Area Chapter is open to anyone who has been commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel residing within a reasonable travel radius of its meeting location at 943 S. 1st Street, Louisville, Kentucky. The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels does not appoint or commission Kentucky Colonels. That can only be done by the sitting Governor of the Commonwealth. One recent Governor made this comment about the qualities he considered, “The name Kentucky Colonel has become synonymous with strength of character, leadership and dedication to the welfare of others. Just as Isaac Shelby declared his trusted militia members to be his Kentucky Colonels, I see in you those things that place others above self.”

To obtain a Kentucky Colonel Commission, a nomination must be submitted to the Governor. Click here to download an application: https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/Governor/KentuckyColonelCommission
