2010 STATE OF THE STATE FORUM

INFORM. ENGAGE. LEAD.

On Thursday, January 21, 2010, LEADERSHIP North Carolina hosted its Third Annual State of the State Forum in New Bern, North Carolina.  Each year, the forum serves as the flagship alumni and recruitment event for our organization.  Over 125 leaders including alumni, current and former members of the LNC Board of Directors, nominees and business leaders were in attendance.

Lieutenant Governor Walter Dalton served as the 2010 keynote speaker, delivering an inspirational message on the "Future of North Carolina". The Forum was informative, exciting and highlighted areas of the economy, military impact, education, demographic changes, the 2010 election and current developments in Washington which will affect our state.  For a complete list of speakers, please click the link below.
