The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL)® has been recognized as a Legacy of Impact for Partnership Excellence honoree by Teach for America North Carolina (TFA NC). Celebrating 35 years of impact across the state, TFA NC honored several key leaders and partners as part of their Legacy of Excellence Award series. The series aims to honor individuals and organizations who have played a pivotal role in advancing educational excellence for all children.
The Legacy of Impact for Partnership Excellence Award honors outstanding partners who have made significant strides in driving meaningful impact within the community. These partners exemplify a shared commitment, vision, and dedication to building a brighter future for students and communities while amplifying the collective impact of this shared mission.
“Teach For America North Carolina develops and supports our leaders through impactful and strategic partnerships in pursuit of an excellent education for every child. Those same leaders are better positioned to transform education and expand opportunity because of CCL’s innovative programming. We are thrilled to recognize them as a part of our statewide anniversary celebration and award them with the Legacy of Impact for Partnership Excellence Award,” said Dr. Monique Perry-Graves, Executive Director, Teach For America North Carolina Regions.
Honorees were recognized during TFA NC’s annual signature event, held Mar. 20, to bring together community leaders, uplift NC students, and celebrate the impact of Teach For America educators. This year’s event also marked 10 years of impact in the Piedmont Triad and brought together leaders across the state from the education, business, and civic communities.
This recognition signifies CCL’s continued efforts to understand and invest in the leadership development of youth, students, and educators with the goal of building the capacity of all young people to have a greater impact on themselves, their peers, and their world.
“We are truly honored to receive this recognition from Teach for America North Carolina. CCL has been committed to enhancing leadership in K-12 schools and school systems for 40 years. Our partnership with Teach for America NC has allowed us to extend our reach to TFA alumni who make a positive difference in education each day in our home state of North Carolina,” said Lynn Fick-Cooper, Chief Societal Impact Officer.
“Our collaboration with TFA NC is a powerful way to develop future generations of leaders, honor our North Carolina heritage, and fulfill our mission to advance the understanding, practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide.”
