The Governor’s Eastern Office was pleased to host this week the third in a series of Community Days for North Carolina’s non-profit sector around the State.
This particular forum was held through the generous auspices of the Roanoke River Lighthouse and Maritime Museum in the Town of Plymouth, and the Governor’s Office partnered with the N.C. Center for Nonprofits to make for a very successful event.
Thirty individuals, including representatives of a wide variety of non-profits from several counties of the northeast, were part of the event. Participants discussed the critical issues facing their organizations, communities and service areas, while learning about the Governor’s agenda and how it relates more specifically to their activities. They were also given the opportunity to learn about the Eastern Office and how it might be of help.
The networking provided by the forum allowed everyone to make new connections and in some cases learn about the Center for the first time. The day concluded with a series of proposed action items for follow-up by the Center and the Governor’s Office.
The Governor’s Office would like to thank Plymouth Mayor Brian Roth, the Center, and all the participants for making this day very productive and enjoyable. We look forward to similar days around the State during the remainder of 2010.
