Sagan Lampe

Sagan grew up in Johnston County and has served as President of Vesta Enterprises, Inc., since the Spring of 2022. During her tenure, she has worked to expand the company’s current Real Estate holdings by adding value to underutilized properties, acquiring new projects, and developing commercial real estate. In 2025, Sagan directed Vesta to focus its day-to-day efforts towards preserving affordable assets in the southeastern United States. The company purchased its first Project Based Section 8 community in North Carolina in January of 2025 and continues to seek new opportunities in this space.

Outside of work, Sagan leads the Viribus Foundation, a family foundation whose mission seeks to “build just and vibrant communities by supporting access to affordable housing, equitable education, enriching opportunities for all children, and second chances for individuals seeking a better future.”

Sagan holds a master’s degree in real estate from Georgetown University as well as her bachelors in both Economics and English from North Carolina State University.

"Higher education should be within reach for every student in Johnston County. I'm happy to devote my time and resources to Johnston Community College, which serves this essential community."

Robert Cupp

Robert serves as VP of Operations at UNC Health Johnston. His background includes 20 years of clinical nursing practice, nursing management, and human resources management. He is a Master's prepared Registered Nurse and board certified as a Nurse Executive.

Robert obtained his Associate Degree in Nursing from Johnston Community College, which allowed him to continue his journey in healthcare, eventually obtaining his bachelor's and master's degrees. He credits scholarships he received as a Nursing student at JCC with helping him reach his academic and professional goals.

“As the current Vice President of Operations at UNC Health Johnston, I often reflect with great appreciation upon the opportunities provided by JCC and the compassion of those who provided financial assistance to me and my family those many years ago.”
