Brooks Pierce Sponsored Greensboro Chamber’s 2026 State of Our Community Luncheon

Brooks Pierce was proud to sponsor the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce’s 2026 State of Our Community Luncheon on August 26. The annual luncheon brought together business leaders, civic partners, educators, and community stakeholders for a forward-looking conversation about the opportunities shaping Greensboro and the broader Triad region.

As one of Greensboro’s most anticipated annual gatherings, the State of Our Community Luncheon routinely draws a sold-out audience for timely insights on economic development, innovation, and local momentum. This year’s program focused on how research, innovation, and data are helping move Greensboro forward by spotlighting the ideas and institutions driving growth across the market.

Attendees heard from the chancellors of UNC Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University about research underway on their campuses and what it could mean for the future of Greensboro. They were joined by Tom Barkin, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, for a broader discussion on the role research plays in regional economic strength, business decision-making, and long-term community prosperity. Guests also received a first look at the Greensboro Chamber’s new data and research platform for the Triad market.

Brooks Pierce’s sponsorship reflects the firm’s continued commitment to supporting meaningful conversations about Greensboro’s future and engaging with organizations that help strengthen the region’s business community. Brooks Pierce Managing Partner Jimmy Adams also serves as a Greensboro Chamber of Commerce board member.
