At the 2025 Chrysalis House Mother's Day Luncheon, we honored Ms. Ann Bakhaus a distinguished business leader, philanthropist, and community advocate whose life’s work reflects a deep commitment to excellence, innovation, and public service. As a trailblazer in business and civic leadership, she has become a vital force in shaping the future of Lexington, Kentucky. Ann’s impact reaches far beyond her business success. She actively supports a wide range of charitable causes, educational programs, and initiatives aimed at empowering women in leadership. Above all, Ann considers her greatest role to be that of a mother. Her deepest pride lies in raising her children with the same values that guided her life—integrity, compassion, resilience, and purpose. Through life’s challenges and triumphs, she has led her family with grace and unwavering dedication, creating a legacy not only in business or philanthropy, but most profoundly, in the hearts of those who call her “Mom”.
