LOWCOUNTRY EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP CONSORTIUM - Issues Forum

Building on its first two gatherings, the Lowcountry Executive Leadership Consortium (LELC) brings community organizations, leaders, neighbors, and candidates together for a conversation focused on education, families, and youth.

We are especially pleased to gather at Jenkins Youth & Family Village as it begins a new chapter under the leadership of newly appointed Executive Director Janister Herring. Hosting this forum at Jenkins honors its historic role as a place of connection, service, and opportunity—and reinforces the importance of keeping institutions like Jenkins at the heart of community life.

Candidates will participate to discuss specific, practical solutions—not to debate. Come ready to listen, ask questions, and share ideas as we continue moving from conversation toward collective action.

This is a nonpartisan voter-education event. All candidates were invited, and none of the participating organizations endorse candidates for public office.
