WELCOME TO APRA - CAROLINAS!
Welcome to APRA-Carolinas! Tracey Martin is the current Co-President alongside the fabulous board members: Sonia Barbre, Paul Crelin, LaDonna Lindgren, Cynthia Manshack, Chris Nuckols and Helen Tannis. We represent non-profits; cause organizations; healthcare; as well as both public and private higher education. Unfortunately at this time, we only represent North Carolina, but are open to having South Carolina board members join as approved by the current board.
If you are interested in joining in a volunteer capacity, please go to Volunteer Pipeline and enter your information and what volunteer role you would like to play. We need event host volunteers (both small mixers and larger educational options), speaker coordinators, speakers, website management, logistic coordinators, marketing coordinators, and information volunteers.

APRA-Carolinas Autumn Fest
We were hosted by Board Member Sonia Barbre at Winston-Salem State University which was quoted to be THE BEST event we've had in a very long time. Not only was the event completely free of charge due to the gracious generosity of Sonia and WSSU, but the collaboration in the room was OFF THE CHARTS! We all had problems and issues within our own context and we were able to offer constructive advice between all attendees. We have been asked to offer this as a venue at least every 18 months. We listened, we heard, we will deliver! Thank you to everyone who attended and offered support.
SPECIAL THANKS TO SONIA BARBRE FOR MAKING THIS ALL POSSIBLE WITH A FANTASTIC LUNCH VENUE THAT LEFT US ALL RAVING! THANKS ALSO TO THE SUPPORT STAFF OF WINSTON SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY FOR MAKING IT ALL HAPPEN FLAWLESSLY.
