About us

The mission of Leadership Winston-Salem--educating, connecting and energizing leaders to serve and improve the community--guides everything we do. This program is all about building strong, lasting relationships with other leaders, learning more about our community than you ever thought you could, and being inspired to make a difference in our community. Leadership Winston-Salem, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization, was started in 1984 by a group of local leaders to increase the understanding and commitment to the city’s future during a time of significant change. The flagship program ran for 20 years and then was taken offline to undergo a redesign effort using adult learning principles and best practices in experiential learning. The current program, re-started in 2005, reflects the results of that effort. Over 1500 individuals, representing the rich diversity of our community, have graduated from the program.

    Last week, our Women’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) hosted its second annual Pink Couch event with REACH Women's Network at our downtown Winston-Salem, NC headquarters building. This year’s interactive event focused on the theme “When Everyone Leads,” inspired by the book of the same name by panelist moderator and keynote guest Julia Fabris McBride. Featuring internal and external speakers, the panelists shared diverse perspectives from various levels and industries, driving home the power of seizing opportunities and inspiring others to do the same. A special thanks to our own Valerie Mras, Senior Vice President of Vapor Brands and Adi Trbonja, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, as well as Portia Mount, Founder of Mount Creative, LLC, Inge Smith, Director of Communications for Verger Capital Management and Julia Fabris McBride, Chief Civic Leadership Development Officer at the Kansas Leadership Center for joining the Women’s ERG for this outstanding event! #ReynoldsAmerican #PinkCouch

    Day 2 of Opening Retreat went a little something like this! The day started off with an exciting welcome from Winston-Salem State University’s Red Sea of Sound, PowerHouse cheerleaders and Scarlet Lace dancers. Our Flagship Class of 2025 was later greeted by AD, Etienne Thomas (Flagship ‘21) followed by opening remarks from Chancellor Bonita Brown. Then it was all about business, as each of our participants spent the day learning more about LWS and the excitement that lies ahead during this program year! As the day came to a close for another successful Opening Retreat, we would like to thank our LWS Alumni volunteers for their dedication and commitment, and for sacrificing their time to help ensure things went smoothly. We couldn’t have don’t it without you! 🧡

    In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Leadership Winston-Salem has coordinated a relief drive to address the urgent and desperate needs in Buncombe County. Many families are facing significant challenges, and we urgently call on all LWS alumni and community members to join us in making a difference. Your contributions of essential items can provide hope and relief to those who have lost so much. In support of various organizations, we kindly ask you to drop off donations at our Leadership Winston-Salem office. Additionally, to assist Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough in his efforts, items can also be dropped off at the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office through October 2. Your generosity can make a significant difference for those in need during this challenging time. Thank you for your support and commitment to making a positive impact!
