Past, Present & Future Day kicked off Class 48's Leadership Charlotte journey with a deep dive into the forces that have shaped our city and the choices that will define its future.
From exploring Charlotte's history, to understanding today's realities through data and policy discussions, to examining how business, economic development, sports, and community leadership influence what's next, the cohort spent the day learning from and engaging with some of our region's most impactful leaders.
A special thank you to our hosts, Truist Center Charlotte and Sparkhouse (Do Greater), for welcoming us into your spaces and helping create an inspiring environment for learning, reflection, and connection.
And kudos to our incredible LC47 Planning Team for executing a meaningful first program day that set the tone for a year of learning, leadership, and community engagement.
Charlotte's story is still being written. By exploring our past, examining our present, and envisioning our future, Class 48 took its first step toward helping build a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
