Welcoming a North Carolina leader home Op-Ed in the Charlotte Observer

Strategic Assessment

It is no secret that North Carolina is undergoing a big transformation. Communities are changing, demographics are shifting and the gap between rural and urban is widening. In Charlotte and across Mecklenburg County, we are seeing tremendous growth, alongside pockets of poverty that are causing challenges for many individuals and families.

At Crisis Assistance Ministry, we have seen that the challenges of people in poverty are so complex, they require new strategies, disruptive thinking and innovative collaborations. That is why I was so excited to see an old friend move into a new role at a North Carolina organization on the forefront of change.
