We kicked off Charlotte's inaugural United Community Junior Board this week at South Mecklenburg High School.  This class is full of community leaders!  Thank you Geordan Miller, MBA for leading the initiative and Austin Hailey for sharing your career path with the students.  Much more to come as the program runs it course through the school year.

It was my honor to be accepted into United Community's 2024 Leadership Academy.  Alumni from prior classes have shared with me how impactful Leadership Academy had been for them in their career and encouraged me to apply this year.   Last week we kicked off with dinner and an inspiring message on #leadership by Richard Bradshaw followed by an insightful day with Gail DePriest from #clemsonuniversity on the topic of Leading and Motivating, with an emphasis on self-awareness.  

I am excited to learn from, and alongside, many of United Community's finest and fellow members of the 2024 class - Amber Holden, Andrew Shull, April Irwin, CAMS, CFCS, April James, Brice Sprayberry, christopher K., Chris Shinpaugh, Christopher Huey, Darren West, David C. Glenn, Elizabeth Boggess, Hannah Coffey, Jake Partin, Bucy Jami, Jason Boskey, CPA, FRM, Jeff Waddail, Kristin Couch, CRCM, Lauren Dubois, Lauren Mcelveen, Lane Redding, Michele Roark, Scott Toth, Stephanie Sharp, and Steve Borecky.
