Association Executives of North Carolina Logo

HISTORY:

Established in 1955, Association Executives of North Carolina (AENC) is committed to providing high quality professional development and networking opportunities to help you develop your fullest potential and foster the recognition and respect of the association management profession. At it's foundation, members were all Association CEOs/Executive Directors but it has since expanded to include the staff of associations across North Carolina, as well as representatives from the association service and hospitality industries.

"AENC’s 70th Anniversary commemorates a legacy of connection, collaboration, and achievement. This milestone stands as a testament to the vibrant community that continues to empower association professionals and industry partners alike. I am truly honored to be a member and to stand alongside such a dedicated and inspiring organization."
