Every community is shaped not just by its places, but by the people who choose to step forward when it matters.

Leadership Cashiers exists for those moments of choosing.

Each year, the program gathers people from Cashiers, Glenville, Sapphire, and Lake Toxaway and invites them to look more closely—at how this community works, who carries it, and where their leadership might be needed next. They sit where the work of the community actually happens. They listen to the people who keep things running. They begin to see themselves as part of the future, not just observers of it.

Because of supporters like you, those moments are possible.

Your sponsorship is not just support for a program; it is an investment in awareness, responsibility, and long-term stewardship. Over time, those investments show up quietly—in stronger boards, thoughtful business leadership, civic engagement, and a community better prepared for what comes next.

We are grateful for your past support and invite you to continue that partnership this year. We will proudly recognize our sponsors throughout the year on the Chamber and Leadership Cashiers websites, in email communications, on social media, and during program sessions May through December.
