This week the events will be held in New Bern and Greenville.
Yesterday, the CMS Foundation announced that Sonja Gantt will be its new executive director.

We believe her unique combination of community knowledge, communications skills, passion for public education and trusted leadership make her the perfect leader to serve as the bridge between CMS and our dedicated donor partners.” Here is an article in The Charlotte Observer.
