“Having moved to Asheville from Los Angeles, Leadership Asheville provided the in-depth look I needed to understand the culture of local business, government and non-profits. The intensive program was a game-changer, allowing me to tailor my own business to the needs and wants of my community. Between the programming and the cohesiveness of my classmates and post Leadership Asheville events, it weighs in as one of the most valuable learning tools I have available to help me to continue to grow both personally and professionally.”
