The LNC Forum is Leadership North Carolina’s 
flagship event for leaders from across North Carolina
. Often referred to as “LNC in one day,” the LNC Forum provides an update for LNC alumni and a sample of the LNC experience for leaders interested in the program. Hosted annually, the Forum educates leaders about the 
most critical issues facing the state,
 creating a more informed group of stakeholders 
committed to North Carolina’s future
, all through a systems-level approach through the lens of LNC’s six pillars – Government, Education, Inclusive Leadership, Economic Development, Health and Human Services, and the Environment.
We hope leading with intention to create a North Carolina that promotes 
authenticity, accountability and a sustainable future for all
 is a mission we can collectively embrace. This year we will explore our theme: 
Harnessing the Power of Connection.
 These connections flow across the six pillars of LNC, but also energize the power of leaders from across North Carolina and across sectors.
The LNC Forum will bring together alumni, community leaders, and speakers to share information and expertise to ensure bridges of knowledge and action are created and expanded in every county in North Carolina.
