AENC Legislative Reception
Connect. Engage. Involve.

JANUARY 25, 2023 | 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

The Legislative Reception has become a longtime AENC tradition consistently attracting a large crowd of legislators and executive and judicial branch officials. Sponsorship of the AENC Legislative Reception provides your organization a unique recognition opportunity among North Carolina’s leading trade and professional association leaders, and offers you and your members and/or clients a great opportunity to interact with members of the General Assembly and elected state officials, Council of State, Supreme and Appellate Court Judges.

Location: *Same location as 2022*

Nature Exploration Center at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences; 11 West Jones Street Raleigh, NC 27601 (Across from the NC General Assembly)

Association members join us to help show our elected officials the collective power of the association industry. 

Affiliate & CVB members come show support alongside of all of your Association friends, clients and prospective clients.
