Our last day in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina was a hit. 👏 We started the day with sessions featuring Regional Transportation Alliance Executive Director Joe Milazzo II and Regional Transportation Alliance Chair Jay Irby on transportation and infrastructure. 🚄 We then heard from PNC Bank Regional President of Eastern Carolinas & Southeast Territory Executive Jim Hansen and PNC Bank Greater Alabama Regional President Nick Willis on finance, technology and innovation. 💡 We then took a bus tour of Downtown Durham with President & CEO Nicole Thompson, toured American Tobacco and had one last North Carolina meal at Durham Bulls Baseball Club. There are many things to be learned from Raleigh-Durham. We are grateful for the opportunity to visit and learn from their many key decision makers and leaders! #BHMHasMore #BHMBizAlliance #BHMBizInRaleigh #RegionalLeadership #InfrastructureDevelopment #TransportationInnovation #DurhamExploration #DowntownDurham

Leadership Exchange Day TWO was a blast! 🚀 We started off the day listening to the Mayors of Raleigh, Durham and Morrisville. Then, we got to hear from North Carolina State University Director of Partnerships Keisha Demps and Wake Technical Community College President Scott Ralls on higher education and talent pipelines. We then toured the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and heard from Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Adrienne Cole, and we could have listened to her talk all day! 👏 After that, we heard from Wake County Economic Development (Work in the Triangle) SVP Michael Haley and VP Ashley Cagle on economic development strategies, public-private partnerships and innovation. We finished up our day at City Club Raleigh for a cocktail hour, sponsored by Maynard Nexsen, then heard from NC Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Health and Human Services Jonathan Kappler on Governmental Affairs. It was a jam-packed day of inspiration and relationship building. Day three, here we go! #BHMHasMore #BHMBizAlliance #BHMBizInRaleigh #LeadershipExchange #HigherEducation #TalentPipeline #Inspiration
