KIVA

What an incredible morning of learning, leadership, and connection!

We had the opportunity to hear from Gina Tobin, President of Texas Roadhouse and a nationally recognized leader in building people-first culture at scale. Her insight on leadership, developing people, and creating a strong culture was truly inspiring.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an impactful leader and bring those lessons back to our KIVA family! ❤️

Many of you have reached out interested in supporting the memory of John Kordes and our family during this difficult time. We are humbled to share that our friends and KIVA family members, John and Sallie Cunningham, and Mike and Sally Potter, recently established a Memorial Scholarship at Assumption High School in John’s honor. This scholarship honors the life and legacy of John Albert Kordes, a passionate and dedicated coach who spent 25 years bringing unmatched energy, humor, and an infectious love for the game to the KIVA volleyball community. Established in remembrance of a leader whose sudden loss leaves a lasting impact, this award recognizes a high school student-athlete who embodies John’s unique and infectious spirit both on and off the court or field. John measured success not only in wins, but in the character of the young women he helped shape. He was a fierce advocate for his players, treating his teams like family and pushing them toward competitive excellence while always standing protectively behind them. This scholarship will be awarded to an athlete who demonstrates financial need and mirrors John’s team-first leadership, possesses a joyful presence that makes hard work fun, and shows a deep commitment in lifting up those around them. ❤️🪽

If you would like to make a gift you can mail a check to Assumption High School, 2170 Tyler Lane, Louisville KY 40205 or make a gift online and include a note for John’s Scholarship. Link in bio!
