ABOUT HUNTER
Hunter Corn is a proud North Carolinian with over twenty-five years of non-profit experience. Born and raised in rural Cleveland County, he worked in the Office of University Development while attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After living in the Washington, DC area serving two national non-profits, he returned to North Carolina working at the state’s second largest chamber of commerce for over a decade. He joined the small staff of Wildacres Leadership Initiative over six years ago, guiding the organization through two Friday Fellowship class cycles and the covid-19 pandemic. Besides staff roles in membership, operations, fundraising, and leadership, Hunter has served on several non-profit boards (including lead officer roles) throughout the years. Hunter’s core reflection is a constant reconsideration of the question “How will we be with each other?”
