David Winslow attended Governor's School West in 1970. When he joined the Foundation Board, the merits of his fundraising expertise were as self-evident as they were severely needed. Equally as crucial were the contributions of his wife, C.C. Winslow. David’s tireless fundraising efforts in 2011 resulted in a record-breaking fundraising campaign, preserving the legacy and future of the Governor’s School. Perhaps more importantly, as Fund Drive Chair from 2012-2014, David helped to maintain the momentum from the 2011 campaign and inspire investors across the state to maintain their financial commitment. In 2011, C.C. Winslow volunteered to create and maintain a comprehensive database system, that tracks donations to the Foundation and updates contact information of alumni. It was C.C. who laid the infrastructure for the new software implementation that will serve the Foundation and the Alumni Association well into the future.

For those and many other reasons, the NC Governor’s School Foundation is proud to honor David and C.C. as Jim Hart Governor’s School Champion Award winners for 2015.
