The Joyner Perspective: Blog for Leaders View this email in your browser Today, I challenge you to get out this next week and explore the different events in Eastern North Carolina. Not every event in these next five areas are highlighted, only some—enough to get the mind thinking. To be a great leader, community engagement is key. Community engagement provides gateways to networking, friendships, and plenty other beneficial relationships that can, and will, help you later in life. Local events provide food meant to satiate the hunger for knowledge and adventure. You don't have to travel far to satisfy this hunger. I challenge you to find something in your town, or the next town over, or the next town over, to go to. Find a new passion. Give back to your community. Explore something new. In these events below, and far more than reasonable to list, find what satisfies your hunger as a future leader. To confirm times and locations for these and more events, you can look them up online. If you know of any community or local events coming up, feel free to email us or give us a shout so we can include them in the coming weeks' segments of Food for Leaders!
