When asked about the impact of his Leadership North Carolina experience, Jaz shared. . .

Leadership North Carolina (LNC) has had a profound impact on me, both personally and professionally. For nearly 20 years, its mission to inform, develop, and engage committed leaders by deepening their understanding of and involvement in the issues and opportunities facing our state has resonated with me.

LNC has reinforced my belief in the importance of informed leadership, collaboration, and constructive dialogue across industries, communities, and perspectives. Throughout my career, I have worked to put these principles into practice by building relationships and advancing opportunities that strengthen communities and move North Carolina forward.

As Chair of the Board of Directors, I view advancing LNC’s mission as both a professional responsibility and a personal commitment to making North Carolina a better place to live, work, and thrive. I am dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders and ensuring LNC continues to make a meaningful, lasting impact across our state.
