message from the executive director

The Lee Institute was started in 1997 to honor Bill Lee, who was a remarkable civic leader in our region. Since the inception of the Institute, we have worked primarily within the Charlotte region to promote collaboration around the public good.

We believe that public good is best found when a community seeks out and listens to a variety of voices and opinions. Our work over the past five years has been to help bring wider participation in all types of community work.

Currently, The Lee Institute is working on a number of collaborative projects :

  • The Lee Institute is designing a broad-based community process to support student achievement, an effort supported by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

  • Seven regional summits were recently held in South Carolina as part of a strategic planning process for South Carolina First Steps. The ultimate goal of the summits is to unify local First Steps partnerships across the state around a set of priorities for preparing young children for school.
  • The Lee Institute is facilitating the Infant Mental Health Working Group as they initiate a pilot project to address the social and emotional development needs of children zero to five in Mecklenburg County. Thanks to funding from Smart Start of Mecklenburg County, The Lee Institute recently researched and wrote a Needs Assessment as part of this project, which outlines existing and needed mental health resources for this population.
