Leadership Carteret Partners

Leadership Carteret is an annual program that takes 30 local professionals from Cedar Island to Cedar Point, learning about their community all along the way. "Students" meet with leaders of local governments and public service institutions, learn from successful business owners across the county, take part in service projects for local nonprofits, and explore the beauty of our Crystal Coast. Graduates leave Leadership Carteret with a deep of knowledge of Carteret County, how it operates, and how they can help find solutions to the challenges our community faces. 

Our partners provide financial support, meals, meeting locations, and educational opportunities for the class. The program is only possible with their loyal support.

Leadership Carteret takes place January-March.
