Christina McAlpin Taylor represented Smith
Debnam in the Leadership Raleigh class of 2009/2010. Christina, along with 50 other
participants, graduated from the community program this year, making the 25th
class the largest in its history. The Leadership Raleigh graduation ceremony, along
with the program’s 25th anniversary celebration, took place on June
3rd at the NC Museum of Art.
Leadership Raleigh is a nine-month program held in the greater Raleigh area emphasizing team projects, community
orientation, and enhancing leadership skills. The graduates worked in 10
project teams assisting community non-profit organizations including April’s
Angels, The Healing Place of Wake County, House of Hope North Carolina, Horse
and Buddy, Interfaith Food Shuttle, The Lucy Daniels Center for Early
Childhood, Marbles Kids Museum, Raleigh Rescue Mission, Tammy Lynn Center for
Developmental Disabilities, and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.
Christina's team project benefited The Healing Place of Wake County.
Christina is an attorney in the firm's creditor's rights practice group, and
she represents a wide range of businesses through all stages of creditor
representation, including pre-suit collection efforts, lawsuits, judgments, and
executions. In addition to Christina, Smith Debnam has sponsored numerous other
staff members to participate in Leadership Raleigh over the past several years,
and each participant came away with valuable leadership skills, a greater
knowledge of the community, and lasting personal and professional relationships.
