Leadership Fayetteville is a multi-month program that provides experiential learning opportunities for business professionals to gain an intimate understanding of the City and County’s pressing issues and to discover the hidden gems that define our unique community. Through an intensive curriculum blending panel discussions, site visits, collaborative legacy projects, and exclusive networking with regional decision-makers, the program provides participants with an in-depth appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing Fayetteville and Cumberland County.

“Leadership Fayetteville gave me a peek behind the curtain of many different organizations across a variety of sectors,” Murray said. “Not only did this program help me understand the depth and range of our community more fully, but it also provided me with access and professional connections I would not have gained otherwise.”
"Josh’s graduation from Leadership Fayetteville reflects not only his personal commitment to leadership and service, but also the Arts Council’s broader investment in building strong community relationships and regional partnerships,” said Kennon Jackson, incoming President & CEO of the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County. “Josh brings thoughtfulness, energy, and a genuine passion for this community to his work every day, and we are proud to see him continue to grow as a leader in Fayetteville and Cumberland County.
