Introduction

Established in 1982, Leadership Asheville is one of the oldest and most prestigious community leadership organizations in the nation and is highly regarded throughout the greater Asheville region. Leadership Asheville’s influential graduates represent all sectors of our community and are dedicated to providing leadership that is dynamic, meaningful, and relevant. Leadership Asheville's offices are located on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Asheville.

Our major role in the region, as outlined below, is to provide the foundation for aligning all our programs and initiatives into three areas developing community leadership, influencing policy, and promoting community connections.  While distinct, they have related lines of service which further our goal of building healthier communities.

Building civic capacity is essential for caring, community-based action. Social, environmental, and economic challenges cannot and will not be met by business or government alone. Leadership Asheville supports the voluntary sector by providing capacity-building support and services.

Leadership Asheville recognizes and celebrates the significant contribution the voluntary sector makes to the economy and quality of life in our communities. In order to sustain this contribution, Leadership Asheville works to provide services which will prepare individuals from all parts of the community to help the region meet the challenges of tomorrow.
