Ambassador Spotlight: Courtney Kiehl Lowe

As Executive Director of Communities In Schools of High Point, INC. and a Business High Point Ambassador, Courtney is passionate about making connections and helping our community thrive. 💜

“I love meeting new people and learning about the incredible businesses and organizations that make High Point such a special place.”

From Leadership High Point (Class of 2023 — best class ever! 😉) to The Interchange, networking events, and now the Ambassador program, Courtney has embraced every opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.

Her advice? Put yourself out there! Attend an event, meet someone new, and take advantage of the many opportunities High Point offers.

For a great lunch meeting, Courtney recommends two local favorites: Real Kitchen & Market and Alexandria’s Bistro 1605. 🍴

We’re excited to have Courtney as part of our Ambassador team! 👏

A Fresh Brew of Ideas & Impact ☕️

From the first pour to the final takeaway, this month’s The Connect reminded us that small conversations can spark big change. ✨☕️

It was incredible to hear from Anne Tubaugh, Executive Director of Reading Connections, and learn more about the work happening right here in our community to transform lives through literacy and educational equity. 💜

What can literacy change? More than we might think. It can strengthen families, prepare our workforce, and open doors to new opportunities across our community.
