“This has been the most impactful program I have attended in quite some time. I learned more about Charlotte in a day and a half than I have since I moved here almost 13 years ago!”

“ENCOUNTER Charlotte gave me an inside look at Charlotte which allowed me to understand where I fit in and where my talents could be used most.”

“I have been an executive recruiter in the Charlotte area for over 10 years and am known as someone who knows a lot about Charlotte but was pleasantly surprised to find out many new and exciting things about our great city.”
