Each year, through a rigorous selection process, LNC chooses a class of established and emerging leaders from across the state to participate in its acclaimed Core Program. Leadership North Carolina’s Class 32 is made up of  from the government, business, nonprofit, and education sectors.

Over the course of seven two-and-a-half day sessions Class 32 participants will learn about issues critical to the state through discussions with top officials and professionals, field trips, and experiential learning activities. 

LNC’s sessions focus on six key areas: economic development, education, environment, government, health and human services, and inclusive leadership. Through LNC’s program, participants gain new insight into North Carolina’s strengths and challenges and explore opportunities for how they will improve and empower their communities and the state as a whole.

LNC sessions are held around the state, highlighting the social, geographic, and economic diversity of North Carolina. Due to impacts from Helene, members of Class 32 convened virtually last week to launch their program year. The group will meet in Raleigh in November for the Government session and in Greensboro for the December Education session. The remaining sessions for LNC Class 32 will be held in Durham, Wilmington, Charlotte, and Asheville.
