The NCSBA Summer Conference 2025 in Review:
What a year! 2024 wasn't just amazing, it was absolutely extraordinary for our community! Together, we didn't just achieve goals, we absolutely shattered them. We reached new heights and set an inspiring standard for the future.
Our collective dedication and relentless hard work truly paid off in spectacular fashion, so much so that we received recognition from the NCSBA. At the summer conference banquet dinner, were proudly awarded the Chapter of the Year Award! This isn't just an award, it's a testament to the power of our unity and shared passion.
This monumental achievement wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of our phenomenal members. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you, to our amazing members! Your commitment and heart are the true cornerstones of our success. We can't wait to see what heights we'll conquer together next!
