As we pause for the Independence Day holiday, Alamance Leads will not meet next Monday. This year’s celebration carries special significance as our nation marks 250 years since the founding ideals that shaped the United States.

The Fourth of July is more than a day of fireworks and gatherings. It is an opportunity to reflect on the freedoms, opportunities, and responsibilities that come with living and working in a nation built on the principles of liberty, perseverance, and self-determination. As business owners and professionals, we continue that spirit each day by building, serving, innovating, and contributing to our communities.

We wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day filled with time for family, friends, rest, and reflection. We look forward to reconnecting when we resume our regular schedule on Monday, July 13, in person at the Small Business Center Alamance Community College. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
