Dear Creative Colleagues:

I am pleased to share a unique professional development program for the Design, Business and Creative Community, TRIAD DESIGN LEADERSHOP.  As a result of our two plus years with the Wired grant and listening to the needs of the design community, this program of Keynotes and Workshops has been developed in conjunction with regional design leaders. You have asked for exposure to nationally recognized design thought leaders and we have procured a stellar lineup. These innovators will inspire, add value to your creative work, make you better able to deliver to your clients, and grow your business.

We are seeking 30 participants to enroll in this series of workshops which begins on September 9th .  We are partnering with NC A&T who is handling the registration.  You can also click www.TriadDesignLeadershop.com <http://www.triaddesignleadershop.com/> for complete information. Please share this with your distribution lists and anyone you think might be interested.  Sign up today!

StokesCORE is a non-profit community organization based in Stokes County, North Carolina developed by dedicated volunteers, partner organizations, and a small professional staff. During its first 3 years it has provided financial and technical support to a variety of community enterprises. Originally conceived to become a community foundation, StokesCORE is currently emphasizing development of the underlying social infrastructure of is region on its path to becoming a sustainable community resource.

From 2003 until early 2007 StokesCORE was fostered by participation in Phase I & II of The Duke Endowment’s Program for Rural Carolinas. An effective management team of versatile, experienced staff members and advisors has been assembled to accomplish its mission under direction of a committed Executive Board that reflects the breadth of knowledge and interests in Stokes County. Strategic alliances with partner organizations bolster the emerging heritage tourism economy of this historic, rural region.
