Part Two: Women’s Inter-Cultural Exchange. A Social Capital Benchmark Study indicated the Charlotte region needed to build social capital. This included fostering social and inter-racial trust if it was to continue to be viewed as a growing, dynamic Southern and national city. The Women's Inter-Cultural Exchange was founded in 2005 by two women who hoped to meet this need. And yesterday, WIE hosted its annual conference at the Southern Women’s Show. The conference included talks by racially diverse and successful women about how they achieved their goals and why inter-racial trust is essential. We meet one of the founders of the Women’s Inter-cultural Exchange and her mentor, when Charlotte Talks,
