828 Lead
Oct 5 all-day
Hatchworks Coworking

This October, elected officials from city, county, and state government, campaign strategists, nonprofit leaders, and political science experts from Western Carolina University will join Asheville’s young professionals for 828 Lead, a new civic leadership bootcamp created and hosted by Asheville’s Young Professionals (AYPROS).

The three-day intensive runs October 3 – 5 at Hatchworks Coworking and brings together 30 up-and-coming leaders who want to run for office, serve on boards and commissions, or just figure out how campaigns actually work. They’ll sit in on Government 101, dive into a campaign-building workshop, and even practice delivering stump speeches. By Sunday, participants walk out not only with a recognition of participation signed by elected officials, but also a mentor connection and a clearer path into Asheville’s civic life.

Coverage opportunities:

  • Friday, Oct 3 (5:30–7:30 PM): Kickoff social with elected officials, hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, and n/a drinks

  • Saturday, Oct 4: Live campaign-building sessions, panels with elected leaders, and strategy coaching

  • Sunday, Oct 5: Stump speech coaching and a closing ceremony

This is the first program of its kind in Asheville, pairing current elected leaders with the region’s rising talent. It’s a timely story about how our city is preparing its civic pipeline, and a visual one with speeches, panels, and live training.

We’d love to see you there and can coordinate interviews with participating officials or cohort members.
