The Kentucky Society of Washington The Kentucky Society is a member of the National Conference of State Societies.

The Kentucky Society of Washington, DC founded in 1912, is an organization that promotes goodwill, fellowship, and amicable relations among Kentuckians in the National Capital Region. The Society was formed to preserve and perpetuate the history and traditions of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These ideals are promoted through numerous social, educational, and charitable functions each year. The Society sponsors such events as the Bluegrass Ball in celebration of the quadrennial Presidential Inauguration, the Cherry Blossom Ball and a Pre-Kentucky Derby Party. We also host lecture series and receptions that promote Kentucky culture and heritage. Some of the events sponsored by the Society are focused on raising money to support various Kentucky charities. The Society recognizes the important contributions of nationally prominent Kentuckians through the biennial presentation of the Henry Clay Distinguished Kentuckian Award. Proceeds from the Clay Award Dinner fund scholarships for outstanding Kentucky college students as summer interns in Washington in one of the three branches of the federal government. The Kentucky Society of Washington continues to strive for the progress and betterment of Kentuckians everywhere.
