Chapter Benefits/Areas of Involvement

Other Highlights

• The NC Chapter donated $1000 to the Negotiated Rulemaking Process.

• We recently updated our NC/SC mailing list. Consider doing the same. It is very helpful and results in more revenue..

• We have nominated Milton N. Hinnant, CPO for the Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award. Milton is 79 years old and recently decided to retire. He has been in the field since 1936 when he was 13 years old. He has been an Academy member since it's inception in 1970. A more honorable and deserving person for the award will be hard to find.
