Program Chairs and Trustees
Leadership Winston-Salem Committees and Trustees Create Powerful Experiences for Program Participants
Flagship program day committees and INSIGHT Trustees work diligently to create memorable and impactful experiences for our classes each year.
Flagship committee members are LWS alumni; therefore, they completed the journey successfully and understand the value of the Flagship experience. INSIGHT Trustees are community professionals and influencers who come from a variety of backgrounds. Some trustees have gone through the INSIGHT program, and others are non-members who are valued contributors to our community, making them essential to creating high-level discussions and activities that engage participants in the program.
All of our program committees and trustees are passionate about the community and feel the need to indoctrinate new members about community dynamics and issues through the development of program day curriculums and activities that provide insight into Winston-Salem's history, social issues, and outlook. Currently, there are ten Flagship program day committees led by chairs who guide the phases of program day development. Fourteen topic chairs lead the planning for INSIGHT.
