Meet Our Staff: Lee Prigden

Lee Pridgen is one of our project managers at the Cape Fear Volunteer Center and he’s always on the move. Lee is dedicated, adaptive, and committed to the recovery and success of Wilmington. He’s a Wilmington native and has studied emergency and disaster management. Reflecting on his time with the CFVC, Lee stated the most important thing he’s learned is to be flexible and that his busy role has provided him a more productive perspective. Lee’s days consist of organizing and executing projects with a variety of organizations and volunteer groups. He rotates between projects to provide instruction and assistance, along with encouragement to our volunteers and other project managers. Lee experienced the transition the CFVC encountered post Hurricane Florence and has adapted to the shift in programs and allocation of volunteer efforts, he’s committed to help everyone and get jobs done. A core value of the CFVC and in Lee’s work is the importance of community in Wilmington, Lee described community as “a group that comes together to assist one another in a time of need regardless of race, sex, religion, beliefs…someone who will help you even if they don’t know your name or what you do, they see you in need and they will help you out.”
