We’re proud to support talented executives with a passion for their work and a unique understanding of national, state and local needs. They take that knowledge with them as they advocate for best practices and innovative solutions throughout the state and beyond. They’re at home discussing topics from small-town trends to federal legislation and always have their finger on the pulse of developments related to mental health, substance use disorder and intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) in North Carolina.
