“I’ve been involved with NCEDA since 2005, when I assumed my leadership duties at the Charlotte Regional Partnership. It has long been a well-run organization that provides direct access to other economic development professionals throughout the state. NCEDA really upped its game when it brought on L² as the management team. The information and guidance are of the highest quality, the legislative advocacy is sharper than ever, and the networking opportunities are always thoughtful and fun.”
