Library Associates Board

Jeff Peden

Jeff Peden, The Great Ideas! Guy℠, has spoken to thousands of people over the last 20-plus years, helping them improve success in customer acquisition and retention, developing leadership skills and high-value relationships with others, and accomplishing goals.

He’s an International Speaker and author. His new book, Take It To The MAX—The Ultimate Strategy for Maximizing Profits and Growth—shows organizations how to engage employees and customers and partner with them to improve organizational performance, productivity, and bottom-line profits.

A member of the National Speakers Association, he is also a member of Radcliff Rotary, and Vice-Chair of the University of Louisville Library Associates.  His Moment of Success aired on WKJK 1080 in Louisville for over five years.  He lives in Radcliff, KY with his wife, Nancy, and their two dogs, Max and Wendy.

Jeff joined forces with the Library Board because of his love for books, and his conviction that a University can only be as great as its Library system—that the Library is the heart of any University.  With budget cuts threatening the health and growth of the University of Louisville Libraries, he feels a sense of urgency about supporting the Library’s future.
