October 2026 Editor’s Letter
Who run the world? Girls! This month, we’re celebrating the women who make Bowling Green a better place to live, work and call home with our annual Leading Ladies issue! Inside, you’ll meet an incredible group of women representing businesses and organizations across our community. Their paths may look different, but each brings something special to the table. We also wanted you to get to know the women behind the titles. From the songs that keep them moving in Soundtrack to Success to the women they’d save A Seat at the Table for, we loved discovering another side of our Leading Ladies. That celebration continues with our VIP Profile on Dr. Tracey Young, whose career in education, grant writing and community service has created opportunities for local children and families. We also introduce Women Who Shaped Bowling Green, a new series beginning with Ruth Rabold’s influence on our city. We’re also introducing VIP Player, spotlighting local student-athletes on and off the field. We kick things off with WKU Men’s Basketball’s Teagan Moore, who shares his journey on the Hill, a season away from the court and the people who keep him grounded. Our VIP at Home Special Feature takes us inside the 2026 St. Jude Dream Home, brought to life by local builders, designers and community partners supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We’re looking back on 10 years of VIP Bowling Green and the people, businesses and community that have filled our pages. We hope you enjoy meeting our 2026 Leading Ladies and the people and stories filling our October pages. Thank you, as always, for supporting VIP Bowling Green!
Here’s to the women making their mark,
Amelia Bowen
