Last week, Leadership Greater Manchester (LGM) participated in Arts & Culture Day - their final class day before graduation! 🎭

Arts & Culture Day explored how Manchester’s vibrant arts community strengthens economic vitality, enriches quality of life, and connects the creative and business sectors.

During the day, the class:
• Visited Majestic Theatre, The Palace Theatre, The Rex Theatre and Currier Museum of Art
• Learned from local artists, performers, and cultural leaders about the impact of arts on community and economic vitality
• Experienced hands-on activities in theatre, music, dance, ceramics, watercolor, and visual arts
• Left inspired by Manchester’s vibrant creative community and the role each of us can play in supporting it.

Thank you to all of the organizations, presenters, and volunteers who made the day possible!

Last week, Leadership Greater Manchester (LGM) held an impactful Health & Human Services Day. Thank you to our partners at Dartmouth Health for sponsoring the day.

From exploring the role of social determinants of health to hearing directly from leaders across Manchester’s health systems, this day reinforced a powerful truth: health is shaped far beyond clinical care. Housing, food access, education, and community all play a critical role.

A highlight was connecting with organizations like the Manchester Health Department, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester, Manchester Fire Department and Families in Transition whose work brings these concepts to life every day.

As leaders, the question isn’t just what these organizations can do - it’s how we can better support them.

A special thank you to Catholic Medical Center for serving as our Presenting Sponsor and helping make this impactful event possible.
