CONNECTION

“After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
— Philip Pullman

We couldn’t agree more. The most valuable thing you can share with the world is your own story. And the most precious gift you can give someone else is the opportunity to be truly listened to.

This is the heart of our Leader Lunches.

Each week, professionals from across all sectors of Winston-Salem—government officials, business leaders, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, farmers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, pastors, nonprofit directors, wealth managers, artists, and more—gather to share their stories, insights, and advice.

Not only do they offer valuable perspectives, but they also share their contact information, creating a network of support, mentorship, and opportunity for our Fellows. It’s a chance to learn, connect, and grow in ways that will shape your future.
