New Perspectives on Chatham County

by Molly Matlock, Executive Director of ChathamArts

So, ChathamArts President, Lesley Landis, is participating in the current session of the regional class of Leadership Triangle. A recent class focused on Pittsboro. A variety of leaders from across county lines spent the day on guided tours of Historic Chatham Mills, Piedmont Biofuels, Carolina Tiger Rescue, and the Sustinability Programs and  Culinary Arts Program at CCCC.
