We continue sharing the latest appointments to our Board of Directors with the introduction of Colby Hall, Executive Director of Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR).
Meet Colby Hall
Colby Hall is the current Executive Director of Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR), coming onboard in November of 2020. Colby was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky, and he’s grateful for the opportunity to serve the region and its interests in a full-time capacity.
Colby graduated summa cum laude from the University of Kentucky in 2015 with a degree in biology. After spending a year teaching English abroad in Spain, he pursued a sales career in the heart of the bustling technology startup sector in Atlanta, GA before moving back to Eastern Kentucky to run SOAR.
Colby is married to Lindsey Hall, a nurse practitioner in the neurosurgery department at UK HealthCare’s Chandler Hospital. They have one son, Hayden Hall, who was born in November 2022.
I have a deep respect and appreciation for Hindman Settlement School's long history of positive impact on Eastern Kentucky. The school's programming supporting children with dyslexia has always been especially inspirational to me. No doubt, without Hindman Settlement School, hundreds of individuals across Eastern Kentucky would not have been able to achieve what they have achieved.
