Foundation Hosts Annual Community Luncheon on May 2

The Winston-Salem Foundation’s 2018 Community Luncheon will take place on Wednesday, May 2 at the Benton Convention Center from noon to 1:30pm.

The Foundation welcomes keynote speaker Dr. Gregory Ellison II of Atlanta-based Fearless Dialogues, an organization whose mission is to foster strong communities for the common good by creating spaces for unlikely relationships to form. Drawing upon years of research, professional experiences, and personal encounters, the interactive presentation is designed to help us “fear less” in conversations with others. The Foundation hopes that by learning new strategies to engage in hard, heartfelt conversations, we will be better equipped to work toward sustainable and collaborative change as a community.

In addition to an expected 80+ Community Investor, Community Builder, and Community Supporter level sponsors, Wells Fargo is graciously supporting the event as Keynote Sponsor.

The 2018 Winston-Salem Foundation Award and the 2018 ECHO Awards will also be presented at the luncheon, honoring remarkable individuals and groups that are making a difference in our community.

Open seating is $20 per person. To register, visit www.wsfoundation.org.
