2026 Southeastern NC Regional Networking Luncheon

November 4, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM (EST)

Description

NC4ME: Military Talent. Workforce Strength. Economic Growth.

Join us for the 2026 Southeastern NC Regional Networking Luncheon in Wilmington on November 4! This annual event brings together economic development professionals from across the region for meaningful connections, updates, and timely insights.

This year’s luncheon will feature a special presentation from Kimberly Williams, Founder and CEO of NC for Military Employment (NC4ME). Kimberly will share how NC4ME’s work supports workforce development across North Carolina by connecting employers with the knowledge, skills, and experience of our military talent. She will also highlight the important role our economic development community can play in supporting these efforts, strengthening local workforces, and helping businesses recognize the value that veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses bring to the workplace.
