Governor Patton joined General Colin Powell and First Lady Judi Patton in signing the America's Promise Partnership Agreement at the America's Promise Summit, held at Eastern Kentucky University on November 10, 2000.  In Kentucky, the agreement will link government, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, faith-based groups, institutions of higher education and community groups together to benefit the young people of Kentucky. The University of Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky University have already made a commitment to the effort, and will supply resources based on the Five Promises to youth in the state.
