Four CBCers Become Goodmon Fellows After Leadership Triangle Regional Class
"The biggest takeaway for me is the idea that it truly is up to us each and every individual in the Triangle - to not only have a vision for how we want our communities to grow and change, but more importantly to bravely take action to do something about it"
-- WRAL-FM Local Sales Manager Katie Phillips

Four more CBC'ers became Goodmon Fellows as the quartet graduated from the Leadership Triangle Spring Regional Program on Tuesday, May 14, 2013. The 6pm event took place at the James B. Hunt Library on N.C. State's Centennial Campus for the first time.
FOX 50 General Sales Manager Matt Donegan, FOX 50 Special Revenue Projects Manager Sylvia Lanier, WRAL-FM Local Sales Manager Katie Phillips and WRAL-TV IT Manager Jeff Ritchie completed the 8-week program and earned their Leadership Triangle diploma.
Pomp and Circumstance
CBC President & CEO Jim Goodmon, chair emeritus of the Leadership Triangle Board, talked to the graduates, their guests, and LT alumni, telling them to have courage. During his remarks from the podium, Goodmon charged the group to stay with it, what is important to you. He said not to let anything hinder them in their purpose.
He encouraged the group to start with themselves. Lead yourself, and then you can lead others.
He also spoke of the importance of bi-partisanship.
Think it through, said Goodmon. There are ways to accomplish things. Not left wing or right wing.
Things won't get better if we don't want to see things improve.

The program also included the annual Triangle Trivia Challenge, led by Goodmon Fellow George Smart. A spirited competition took place between the tables of attendees, in an attempt to prove their knowledge about the Triangle region.
For the first time Quintiles served as presenting sponsor of the Spring Regional Class in 2013, and they plan to do so again for 2014. CBC is an annual sponsor of Leadership Triangle. ATC Vice President of Real Estate Michael Goodmon is the current Board Chair.
The CBC Graduates
The new CBC Goodmon Fellows jumped at the chance to participate in Leadership Triangle's Regional Class.
I was asked to assist with technical aspects of last year's Goodmon awards ceremony, said Ritchie. I quickly learned from the people involved with Leadership Triangle what a good opportunity becoming a Goodmon Fellow would be. When the opportunity came up to join the very next session on Regional Leadership, I couldn't pass it up!

Donegan saw the LT opportunity as a vehicle for growing in his work.
I wanted to expand my knowledge and business contacts in the Triangle, he said. I really wanted to understand the major issues facing our growing population and potentially create future Public Service Campaigns with both the Public and Private sectors which we have done successfully at Fox 50 in the past.
Phillips said a move to a rural community east of Raleigh after 17 years in the city made her realize first-hand the significant differences between the urban areas in and around Raleigh, and the rural area where I now live. I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to be a member of both communities. At the same time Im learning that I never realized such a large gap in economic conditions existed between the two areas, which are only about an hours drive apart.
She was interested in learning more about the issues that face our region, the resources we might leverage to solve them by working together, and how I might contribute in a more meaningful way.

Best in Class
The CBC'ers enjoyed various aspects of the spring classes.
The session that made the strongest impact was the one on Human Services in Wake County, said Ritchie. As part of that session, we spent some time at The Healing Place, a residential program for recovering addicts. We met some participants in the program and had lunch with them. A gentleman I know through business several years back was a resident in the program That just made the reality glaringly obvious that anyone can end up in circumstances that turn their lives upside-down. I was thankful to have connected with him, and happy to know there are programs that help people with those achievable incremental steps to be successful in overcoming their life's critical challenges.
The trip to the Healing Place and several other venues impacted Phillips strongly as well.
My favorite part of the program was the privilege of learning from three particular people who set fine examples of leadership, and inspired me to do more, she said. These three people each noticed a community need in the course of their normal daily routines, and one day they did one little thing to address that need. And the next day they built on what they had done the day before, and a few years later here we are in the present, and the Triangle is benefitting in an enormous way from the three normal, everyday, regular people who decided to do something about it. For me they represent the potential that each of us holds and can tap into merely by embracing our passions and choosing to do something right now in the moment.
