This week our Chief Experience Officer, Patti Weber, enjoyed a fantastic “backstage pass” to the city of Charlotte by participating in Leadership Charlotte’sENCOUNTER Charlotte” program. This great program is a slimmed down version of the organization’s flagship 10-month program and is designed as a high-level introduction to the city of Charlotte for newcomers or residents who want to get involved.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet and learn from a cross-section of leaders from Charlotte’s education, government, arts + council, environment, human services, public safety and volunteerism communities” said Patti.  “I encourage others to participate in this amazing program and get connected to Charlotte in a deeper way”.
