The LNC Forum is Leadership North Carolina’s flagship event for leaders from across North Carolina. Often referred to as “LNC in one day,” the LNC Forum provides an update for LNC alumni and a sample of the LNC experience for leaders interested in the program. Hosted annually, the Forum educates leaders about the most critical issues facing the state, creating a more informed group of stakeholders committed to North Carolina’s future.

How can you use your gifts and skills to move North Carolina forward? What are other folks in North Carolina doing to inspire their communities and take bold action? It is easy to get overwhelmed during challenging times and the natural instinct is to hunker down and wait. Our day will include examples of citizens of North Carolina who keep moving – keep taking action – for the betterment of North Carolina.

The LNC Forum will bring together alumni, community leaders, and diverse speakers to share information and expertise to ensure bridges of knowledge and action are created and expanded in every county in North Carolina. We need to continue to define the idea of leadership in North Carolina and how we can best engage with one another to create intentional bridges of action. Bridging North Carolina’s issues and opportunities is important work and we all can take action today, for tomorrow.
