Kingsport Leadership Programs

We were honored to have Dr. Brenda White Wright as our keynote speaker for the Leadership Kingsport Community Breakfast.

An inaugural member of the very first Leadership Kingsport class in 1983, Dr. Brenda White Wright truly embodies the mission of this program: to develop leaders who give life to community dreams.

Dr. White Wright is a dynamic motivational speaker, gifted storyteller, and experienced leadership and diversity trainer with more than 50 years of experience empowering individuals and strengthening communities. She served for more than two decades as President and CEO of Girls Inc. of Kingsport, where she helped shape the lives of countless young people and families throughout our region.

Her leadership, service, and impact have been recognized through numerous honors, including the Leadership Kingsport Distinguished Leadership Award and Your Kingsport Chamber Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award.

Most importantly, Dr. White Wright has spent her life investing in others — encouraging people to lead boldly, serve generously, and make a difference in their communities.
