Build. Learn. Inspire. Igniting Community Leadership.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Leadership Winston-Salem – educating, connecting, and energizing leaders to serve and improve the community – guides everything we do. Our programs are about building solid and lasting relationships with other leaders, learning more about our community, and being inspired to make a difference.
Leadership Winston-Salem is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization that was founded in 1984 by Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., Julius H. Corpening, and C. Edward Pleasants to increase understanding and commitment to the city’s future during a time of significant change.
OUR PROGRAMS
Leadership Winston-Salem executes two programs each year with a range of goals and objectives to educate participants about the evolution and community needs.
Our LWS Flagship Program is designed to incorporate interactive group activities, adult learning principles, and best practices in experiential learning. Since its inception in 1984, 2,500 community leaders representing the rich diversity of Winston-Salem’s business and community sectors have been inducted into community stewardship through the program.
INSIGHT Winston-Salem for senior-level executives was added in 2012 by key community leaders who serve as trustees for this seven-session evening forum. Objectives for this invitation-only offering are to:
- Connect established local community leaders
- Facilitate leadership conversations about our community
- Foster engagement and collaboration for community improvement

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. As we reflect on this day, we are reminded of the resilience, courage, and unity that emerged from the tragedy.
The events of 9/11 touched countless lives and reshaped our world in profound ways. We honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 individuals who perished that day and extend our deepest gratitude to the first responders, military personnel, and countless others who have dedicated themselves to service and sacrifice in the years since.
In our community, we are inspired by the spirit of solidarity that binds us together. Leadership Winston-Salem stands with those who continue to rebuild and heal, and we are committed to fostering a sense of hope and unity in the face of adversity.
As we remember the heroes and the fallen, let us also recommit ourselves to the values of empathy, courage, and community. Let us support one another and work towards a future where compassion and resilience guide us in times of challenge.
We honor the legacy of 9/11 by striving to make our community and our world a better, more inclusive place for all.
With respect and remembrance,
Leadership Winston-Salem ... See MoreSee Less
