It has went by too fast for me, but now it’s time for me to get ready to serve as your in-coming President, a rewarding challenge that I am looking forward to in the year 2015-2016, “Hope Makes a Difference.” I commend Laverne Manzano for performing an outstanding job as our President this year and hope I can continue in her footsteps!! I felt the excitement of my first Board meeting in Greensboro the week of conference, and I can’t wait to start working with the officers, 14 district presidents and all the committee chairmen! This will be the year of change for NCAEOP, starting with our 2016 Conference being relocated to the Twin City Quarter in Winston Salem and we will soon be meeting to plan this momentous conference! I am very hopeful that Sharon Lucas, our membership chair and Vice President will be getting our numbers up this year! My prayer for each of you is to have safe travels and to have a relaxing summer with your family and friends and get ready for the next year of NCAEOP! - Tricia Mabe As another year is about to end and a new one is about to begin, I have had a wonderful year serving as your Vice President. This year has been a year of continuous growth for me as I continue to build blocks to professionalism. Even though goals to increase membership is off just a little, please continue to keep recruiting members to the association. Recruiting never ends. Also, if you ever get an opportunity to talk to retired or active members who have been part of this organization for more than 20 years, oh what a blessing you will receive. They remind me of the brilliance of our organization and they inspire me to continue to be steadfast with the workings of NCAEOP. May each of you continue to move forward doing motivating works at your locals and districts levels. God Bless, - Bianca Bedford Wow, what a wonderful conference we had this year! President Manzano did an awesome job planning it and serving as our President. It has been my pleasure to serve as your NCAEOP Secretary for the 2014-15 year. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to serve you and for the professional growth I achieved throughout this year. I thank you, the NCAEOP membership, for allowing me this opportunity. I would also like to thank Ashe County Schools, District 3 and my fellow Ashe County EOPs for all their support. This year definitely allowed my Building Blocks to Professionalism to be stacked higher and definitely on a stronger foundation. Working with the Executive Committee allowed me to see and be totally amazed at the amount of work that goes into the success of this organization. The love for this organization and the love shared among its membership are definitely the foundation blocks on which NCAEOP is built. - Sharon Lucas Our NCAEOP Local and District Newsletter winners were announced during the Awards Luncheon at our annual conference March 27, 2015.
