Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center Practice Administrator Weyling White was among the graduates of the 26th Leadership North Carolina class.  Fifty-six civic and community leaders from across the state celebrated their completion earlier this month of this prestigious program in the Old House Chamber of the North Carolina State Capitol. 

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 XXVI comprises top leaders from the government, business, nonprofit, and education sectors. 

“I’m forever grateful for my LNC experience and for the opportunity to connect with other great leaders across our wonderful state. LNC has provided me with the tools necessary to face the challenges seen in my community as well as throughout the state of NC. I would like to thank Nucor Steel for the financial support, and my employer, Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center, for their commitment and support during my time in this program. Both of these organizations made it possible for me to be a member of Class XXVI,” said White.

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 1200 graduates of the program whose continued ties to LNC and to one another provide them with rich opportunities for serving North Carolina.
