"Leadership Cary was an incredible time to meet new people from all walks of life to learn what the Cary community has to offer. It was a blast to be around others wanting to learn about Cary’s rich history, current growth trends, and bright future as a premier place to visit, work and live on the regional and national level. It is well worth the time and investment and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Educational, professional and social growth opportunities all wrapped into one!"

"I highly recommend participating in the Leadership Cary program. It afforded me an opportunity to learn more about needs in the community and ways to engage with other likeminded individuals interested in making a difference through volunteerism."
