Since 2020, Love Out Loud’s Transformation Luncheon has brought together business, civic, and community leaders- people like you who care about building a stronger, more connected community. Each year, around 300 leaders from across various sectors come together to build trust, form meaningful connections, and mobilize people to drive meaningful change.
On February 24, 2026, 280 community partners filled the room for Love Out Loud's seventh annual Community Transformation Luncheon — and the energy in that space reflected exactly what we believe is possible for Winston-Salem. We're grateful so many of you were part of it.
Anchored by a panel with Arleatha Patterson, Josefina Acosta-Herrera, and Mark Owens, the program explored how Partnership for Prosperity, Healthy Forsyth, and Greater Winston-Salem are weaving community feedback across macro, mezzo, and micro spheres — a conversation that was both inspiring and deeply practical.
