Western North Carolina deserves exceptional leaders. We believe that designing and implementing a leadership development program specific to the needs of Western North Carolina is needed now more than ever.
Our Now + Next program is geared toward nonprofits and public service providers. It aims to intentionally engage the next generation of leaders from multiple underrepresented groups.
Graduates of this program will be better positioned to support those in need and to secure resources meant to create meaningful impact.
The program’s success will ultimately be measured by improvements in regional health outcomes through health, education, economic security, and especially organizational capacity building.
