"If you are a leader, you are a teacher." -Kelly King

Look behind-the-scenes of an event hosted by the Center to gain a better perspective on our value to our Members.

In April of 2025 our Members gathered at the Truist Leadership Institute to hear Kelly King, former CEO of Truist, share his words of wisdom about the realities and choices a top leader must face. The talk focused on positive thinking, on fostering a sense of motivation from your team and how to shift from a mindset of management to one of teaching.
