Join the Next Chapter
of VISION

VISION Transylvania is at a pivotal and exciting moment in its history.

​

As we celebrate 30 years of cultivating informed, connected community leaders, we’re taking time to honor what has made VISION strong—while also looking ahead. This is a moment to thoughtfully strengthen the VISION Leadership Program, deepen alumni engagement, and ensure the organization is well positioned for the future.

​

At the same time, we’re planning a 30-Year Celebration that will bring alumni, partners, and community members together to reconnect, reflect, and be inspired by the impact VISION has had across Transylvania County.

​

To do this well, we need committed, thoughtful people who want to take action—people who are excited to roll up their sleeves, contribute their skills, and help guide both the organization and this milestone celebration.

​

Serving on the VISION Board or one of our committees is a meaningful way to:

  • help shape the future of the VISION program

  • strengthen leadership development in our community

  • support alumni connection and storytelling

  • play an active role in planning a memorable 30-year celebration

​

If you believe in leadership that multiplies local good—and want to be part of what comes next—we’d love to talk with you.
