Western North Carolina deserves exceptional leaders. We believe that successfully designing and implementing a leadership development program geared toward non-profits and public service providers that intentionally engages the next generation of leaders from multiple generations and underrepresented groups will better position rural Western North Carolina to secure exceptional resources meant to create meaningful impact, and thus, we will ultimately be better positioned to achieve our foundation’s goals in health, education, economic security, and especially organizational and community capacity building.
