Governor Kay Ivey’s Inaugural Committee, led by co-chairs Dr. Cathy Randall and Jimmy Rane, announced on Wednesday that the theme for the January 14, 2019 inauguration will be “Keep Alabama Growing.”

“In less than a year and a half, Governor Ivey led Alabama to record job growth, improved education and set Alabama on a path of prosperity,” Randall and Rane said in a joint statement.

The co-chairs continued, “The 2019 Inaugural theme, Keep Alabama Growing, underscores Governor Ivey’s promise to build upon these successes and grow more opportunities for Alabamians. We’re inspired by Governor Ivey’s bold vision for Alabama and look forward to celebrating this exciting new era.”

The Inaugural Committee also unveiled the “Kay Ivey Inaugural” website and officially opened the application process for any individuals or groups who wish to participate in the 2019 Inaugural Parade. January 4 is the deadline to submit parade applications.
