2027 - Leadership Wilmington Alumni Council: Behind the Scenes at New Hanover County’s Emergency Operations Center

This event is only open to current Leadership Wilmington Alumni Council members or graduates of the Leadership Wilmington program.

10:00am-11:30am Tour
11:30am-1:00pm Lunch at Islands
 

Join fellow Leadership Wilmington alumni for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of New Hanover County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), where county leaders coordinate emergency response efforts, protect our community during crises, and lead recovery operations following hurricanes and other disasters.

Guided by fellow alum Steven Still, participants will gain an inside look at how local agencies work together to prepare for emergencies, communicate with the public, allocate resources, and make critical decisions when our region is under threat. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the systems and partnerships that help keep New Hanover County safe and resilient.

Following the tour, alumni are invited to continue the conversation and reconnect with one another over lunch nearby. Whether you’re interested in emergency management, local government, community resilience, or simply catching up with fellow Leadership Wilmington graduates, this event offers both valuable insight and meaningful networking opportunities.

Space is limited, and advance registration is encouraged.

We hope you’ll join us for this informative and engaging Leadership Wilmington Alumni experience!
