Leadership North Carolina informs, engages, and leads to achieve a better North Carolina.  Join us in this work!  

From the start, every LNC class has been committed to learning about our state, leading from their individual backgrounds, and leveraging what is best about our state while acknowledging and addressing what can divide us. The commitment to investing in one another and building relationships among classmates is a hallmark of the LNC Core Program experience.

In 2026, investing in relationships among leaders, acknowledging differences, and leaning in to understand and embrace our shared humanity and bond as North Carolinians is more essential than ever. We need your help to continue to build networks and bridge divides among leaders whether they are from Andrews or Avon.

Leadership North Carolina provides opportunities for leaders across the state to engage with one another. Whether it is through the LNC Alumni Directory, regional events, or serving on a committee, we want to connect with you and to connect you with one another. Your support makes that possible.

Help us reach our goal of $80,000 through your investment in the Annual Alumni Campaign.  With the graduation of our 33rd class, LNC celebrates a growing alumni community of nearly 1,600 leaders across our state.  Good things happen in our state when we all bring our collective resources to bear.  We are honored to journey with you!

Your voice, leadership, and continued investment will help ensure LNC remains a powerful force for connection, learning, and service to North Carolina for years to come.  As you invest in this work, a full year or multi-year commitment through a recurring payment enable us to plan and budget in a more forward-focused way.
