Join LNC alumni and friends of LNC for an afternoon highlighting sports in NC!

First up will be a tour of the Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers.  Next, the group will gather for dinner at the Charlotte Knights ballpark as we watch them take on the Durham Bulls!

This event will create space for our alumni and friends to connect and reconnect with LNC.  We believe that creating opportunities for folks to share a meal, learn something new, and strengthen their networks is key in launching NC forward.

The upcoming 2020 election is shaping up to be the most contentious and divisive in recent memory. How can we, as leaders, have an impact and model the type of civic conversations we want to see, addressing North Carolina’s most pressing challenges and opportunities?  Last summer, Leadership North Carolina facilitated our inaugural LNC Alumni Tour, featuring Appalachian State University’s Dr. Karl Campbell’s presentation entitled, “A Historian’s Perspective on Civil Discourse and Civic Responsibility.  This summer, we are partnering with our friends at the Institute for Emerging Issues to facilitate how to have effective civic conversations, including local community leaders modeling this process, and inviting LNC alumni and friends to take this experience and make it a part of their everyday conversations.
