/ Representing Over 1,900 Public Safety Communications Professionals in North Carolina /

The Region D Regional Ambassador seat is now vacant. In accordance with Section 6.5(b) of our Chapter Bylaws, President Samantha Dutch will appoint a replacement with the concurrence of the Executive Committee. We are seeking letters of interest from members who work or reside in Region D who would like to be considered for that appointment.

For those who may not be familiar with the role, the Regional Ambassador serves as the liaison between the Board of Officers and the public safety communications professionals within their region. That responsibility includes advocating for the needs, challenges, and priorities of the agencies in your area, gathering feedback and concerns from your fellow professionals and bringing that information back to the Board for consideration, collaborating with your NENA Regional Representative counterpart, and actively participating in Board and Chapter meetings to ensure that your region is represented at the table. You would also be expected to provide regular reports to the membership at our bi-monthly Chapter Meetings on activities, challenges, and developments within the region. Per our Regional Ambassadors Policy, candidates must work or reside within Region D to be eligible.

Region D includes the following counties: Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin.

The NC APCO Board Retreat is scheduled for June 3rd in Raleigh. It is important to us that whoever is appointed to this position has the opportunity to attend and be there with the rest of the board as we prepare for the upcoming year. With that in mind, we are working on an accelerated timeline to ensure the newly appointed Ambassador has enough time to make travel and lodging arrangements. 

Anyone interested in this opportunity should submit a letter of interest to 2nd Vice President Kyle Thaggard by no later than May 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM.
