Leadership Wake Forest


 
 
 

Leadership Wake Forest is one of several hundred leadership programs throughout the United States. It is a comprehensive program designed to identify, cultivate, and motivate leadership resources for Wake Forest. Participants will develop leadership skills, community experience, community knowledge, contacts and friendships. Information is presented through panel discussions, on-site tours, hands-on activities, team discussions and informal Q&A sessions. This program covers town history, town government, local business, public services, education, volunteer opportunities, and much more. Leadership Wake Forest graduates often go on to leadership positions in business, in the Chamber, in town government, and in local civic groups.

Space is limited, and class selections are made by the Leadership Wake Forest Committee from all the applications received. The program starts at the beginning of September and ends at the beginning of December. There are typically one or two sessions each week for about 3 hours on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with dinner provided.
