The NCEIT Buncombe Regional Summit on August 20, 2022 was a wild success thanks to all of your who attended and the phenomenal crew who came at 6AM to prepare the facility. The Woodfin Community Center was our greatest challenge in preparation for all of you.We have voiced our displeasure with the Town of Woodfin and the Buncombe County Commissioners for poor maintenance.
We had 146 attendees from 13 counties represented: Buncombe, Burke, Catawba, Cleveland, Forsyth, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Lee, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford and Transylvania! Wow! What came our of this were requests from groups in those counties for additional support meetings and Summits. In-person meetings planned in Buncombe, Henderson, and Haywood in September are currently being planned. (See Calendar of Events)
