Build. Learn. Inspire. Igniting Community Leadership.
The mission of Leadership Winston-Salem – educating, connecting, and energizing leaders to serve and improve the community – guides everything we do. Our programs are all about building strong, lasting relationships with other leaders, learning more about our community, and being inspired to make a difference in our community.
Leadership Winston-Salem, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization began in 1984 by Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., Julius H. Corpening, and C. Edward Pleasants to increase the understanding and commitment to the city’s future during a time of significant change.
Our LWS Flagship Program retained the same format from 1984 until 2004 when it was taken offline to undergo a redesign to incorporate adult learning principles and best practices in experiential learning. The reformulated program, which began in 2005, reflects the results of that effort. From its inception in 1984, over 1,500 individuals representing the rich diversity of our community have graduated from the program.
INSIGHT Winston-Salem for senior-level executives was added in 2012 by key community leaders who serve as trustees for this six-session evening forum. Objectives for this invitation-only offering are:
- Connecting leaders with each other and established local community leaders;
- Facilitating leadership conversations about our community; and
- Fostering engagement and collaboration for community improvement.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of one of our LWS family members from the Class of 1985. Nancy Dunn was a servant leader and passionate community advocate in Winston-Salem. She served on the LWS Board of Directors from 1985 - 1991 and 1993 -1996. She then went on to serve as an INSIGHT trustee in 2012 and 2013 when the program was first launched.
Throughout Nancy's time at Leadership Winston-Salem, she made a lasting impact on our organization, supporting and enabling us to educate, connect and energize thousands of leaders to serve and improve our community. Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Nancy's family and friends during this difficult time.
