The Annual Conference

Each year The Foundation hosts a half-day conference designed to inform, inspire, and raise the leadership temperature of our community.

The 2020 conference was hosted at IChurch on Sept 25th and attracted in-person and online audiences totaling 300 people.

The 2020 conference afforded us the opportunity to spotlight local leaders as our speakers: Bruce Schronce and Chuck Myers of StrongLead, Chris Bryan of Northwest Drywall, and Kim Pate of Lenoir-Rhyne University.

The conference also served as the occasion for awarding the 2020 Catawba Valley Leadership Impact Award, which was presented to Don Wimbish of E-Z Way Auto Sales.
