Leadership Winston-Salem Legacy Spotlight! 🌟 Today, we would like to shine our light on the Driscoll family, a remarkable example of commitment and legacy within Leadership Winston-Salem (LWS). Their connection spans three generations, each contributing significantly to our programs and community. Frank E. Driscoll, a Flagship Graduate of 1989, was a dedicated philanthropic supporter of LWS who passed away in 2021. Frank’s life was a testament to his belief in good stewardship, as reflected in his obituary: "My glory and satisfaction is proclaimed... I pray that those who remain will conduct themselves so as to achieve a like fulfillment." Continuing this legacy is his son, Dale “Dek” Driscoll, a Flagship Graduate of 2001. Dek was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NC-Triad Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals in 2022. He has been a steadfast supporter of Senior Services, Centenary United Methodist Church, and Leadership Winston-Salem, serving on the LWS Board of Directors from 2016 to 2021. The next generation, Mimi Driscoll Bennett, continues the family tradition as a Flagship Graduate of 2019. Currently, Mimi serves on our Board of Directors as the Resource Development Chair. We eagerly anticipate the contributions of the fourth generation in the Driscoll family. The Driscoll family’s enduring involvement and support embody the spirit of Leadership Winston-Salem, and we are grateful for their profound impact.
