Thank you to everyone who joined us at Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville, NC on December 11 for NCAI’s Q4 Chapter Business Meeting and the J. Scott Robinson Installation Ceremony. It was a wonderful way to close out 2025, celebrate the holiday season together, and reflect on another productive year for the chapter.
