Janet Spriggs

Servant-Leader and Chief Financial Officer/Vice President at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in Salisbury & Concord, North Carolina.

I believe that life is so much more than we can see and challenges are really just opportunities.

I practice servant-leadership because I believe that leadership is about empowering others to be better. True leaders create environments that empower others to change their lives: “We rise by lifting others” (Robert Ingersoll).

I believe in thepower of education to change lives. . . in the words of Nelson Mandela: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

I am a doctoral candidate in Education with a concentration in Higher Education Administration at Northeastern University.
