When asked about the impact of her Leadership North Carolina experience, Sara shared. . .

Leadership North Carolina (LNC) has been a cornerstone of both my personal and professional life for the past several years, perfectly aligning with my deep passion for lifelong learning, civic engagement, and servant leadership. My journey began in Class 30, continued on as Program Chair for Class 31, and Board member and Executive Committee member since. Being a part of the strategic leadership is amazing!

I feel so committed to working with peers and leaders across the state, in public and private sector capacities, to tackle together some of the great challenges facing our state. I’m specifically drawn to economic development and healthcare, but each of the program areas are critically important and multifaceted.

For me, LNC is not just a professional network; it is a vital vehicle for sustainable attention and intention to the future of North Carolina. Onward and Upward!
