This Month’s Issue:

What does it mean to be a leader? Oftentimes it doesn’t take much for someone to make a difference — just a little extra time helping others. But some devote their lives to making a difference in their communities and beyond. In this issue you’ll meet leaders, some seasoned, some up-and-coming, and learn how they’re working to make rural North Carolina the best it can be.
