DNP alumnae Priscilla Ramseur and Becky McKenzie were recently selected to participate in the Leadership North Carolina (LNC) program. Ramseur and McKenzie were among 55 civic and community leaders from across the state who were accepted to form the 2017-2018 class for Leadership North Carolina, the state’s premier leadership engagement program.  

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 program. Leadership North Carolina’s Class XXV is made up of top leaders from the government, business, nonprofit, and education sectors.

Over the course of six two-and-a-half day sessions Class XXV 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 five key areas: economic development, education, environment, government, and health and human services. 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.

Leadership North Carolina’s mission is to inform, develop, and engage committed leaders by broadening their understanding of and involvement in issues and opportunities facing North Carolina. The Leadership North Carolina Program cultivates a network of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences who share a deep commitment to their state. There are more than 1100 graduates of the program whose continued ties to LNC and to one another provide them with rich opportunities for serving North Carolina.
