REGIONAL PROGRAM
The Triangle grows by 70+ people every single day. It’s ever-changing, and we need community leaders who understand the Regional context today and are committed to shaping an equitable future tomorrow. Leadership Triangle’s Regional Program is designed with this goal in mind. Over the course of 4 months, this program develops leadership skills while connecting participants to other key leaders and issues that face the Region as a whole.
As an example, in early 2023 participants met bi-weekly over three months in different locations in the Triangle. One class involved a deep dive into the social, economic and environmental trends for the region as a whole. We experienced a full day onsite at Healing Transitions and an immersive tour of Extraordinary Ventures. In Research Triangle Park, the class met with community leaders working at the intersection of anti-racism and anti-poverty, and explored ways to create additional collaborative, multi-issue partnerships. The 2024 schedule is below.
