(1957 – 2022)
Dwight A. Ensley, JD, MBA, BBA, CVA was the principal and manager of ValuePointe.biz™ His unique mix of knowledge in business valuation, business development, operations management, marketing, and finance, made him a successful entrepreneur for more than 20 years.

Philanthropy
His philanthropy extended across a broad range of charitable endeavors, which he considered to be his best accomplishments. His prowess as a commercial multi-engine instrument pilot led to a commendation from the Governor of Kansas in 2007.
In furtherance of long-term charitable objectives, Dwight, along with his wife Carolyn J. Woodruff, who serves on the public board of Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (BRBS), set up the Woodruff Ensley Foundation, Inc. in 2020 to help meet the needs of troubled families indefinitely. Serving on the board of Woodruff Ensley Foundation, Inc. are Brian Plum, CEO of Blue Ridge Bank, NA and Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (BRBS); Paul Mengert, Chair of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority and CEO of Association Management Group, Janet Miller of Denver, Colorado; and wife, Carolyn J. Woodruff.
Inspired by the work of Family Service of the Piedmont (FSP) in helping families overcome difficulty, Ensley, along with wife Carolyn, co-chaired FSP’s Annual Campaign from 2020-2022. His company ValuePointe.biz has been a major sponsor of the Big Hair Ball, which raises funds to support FSP Greensboro programs.
Captain Green Eyes Dance Troupe
Ensley’s philanthropic efforts extended to helping children gain access to the arts. He co-founded “Captain Green Eyes Dance Troupe” for Greensboro’s Boys and Girls Club. He provided five summers of complimentary dance lessons with performance opportunities for eight-year-olds. The Troupe was featured with clips on National Dance Day twice on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Ensley brought legendary artists Fik-Shun and Comfort from “So You Think You Can Dance” All-Stars to the Troupe to inspire the children.
