Wake Forest University to Offer Certificate in Leadership in Asheville This Spring
Feb 10, 2026 06:01PM ● By WNC Business
This spring, Wake Forest Executive Education is taking its popular Certificate in Leadership series on the road and WNC professionals will have the chance to participate in Asheville.
For the first time, participants can complete the full certificate locally through a series of four one-day workshops focused on developing authentic, confident, and high-performing leaders.
In today’s rapidly changing environment — from navigating economic uncertainty to retaining top talent — leaders are challenged to inspire others, set purposeful goals, and build a culture of excellence. Each workshop in this series introduces proven tools and practical strategies to help you lead effectively in complex times.
By completing all four Asheville workshops, participants will earn a Certificate in Leadership from Wake Forest Executive Education and the Allegacy Center for Leadership and Character at the School of Business — a credential that recognizes your commitment to professional growth and leadership excellence.
By participating this spring, local professionals will strengthen their leadership foundation, expand their network, and elevate their impact.
The courses will take place at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. Each one-day workshop is $995, register for all four and receive a 15% discount. The registration fee includes materials, breakfast and lunch, and is due in full at time of registration.
Register by March 12 to complete all four courses this spring.
