NCCBI
Renews Kiplinger Discount Program
NCCBI is pleased to announce the renewal of its member- and
employee-benefit Program with Kiplinger, the first name in business
forecasting and financial planning. Close to 200 NCCBI members took
advantage of the discount program, saving an average $30 each, when it
was first offered last year, a strong indication that members like the
service and want it and other benefit programs to continue.
NCCBI members and employees will continue to save up to 50 percent off
the regular price when they first subscribe to any of Kiplinger’s
renowned business forecasting newsletters, including The Kiplinger
Letter, The Kiplinger Tax Letter, The Kiplinger California Letter, and
The Kiplinger Agriculture Letter. Similar savings are available on
other Kiplinger publications, including Kiplinger’s Personal Finance
Magazine, Kiplinger’s Retirement Report, and the entire line of
Kiplinger books and video tapes.
New to this member/employee benefit offer is the inclusion of special
pricing on KiplingerForecasts.com. This new online business
forecasting service is a powerful network of management expertise
covering 15 business sectors. Updated continuously throughout the day,
KiplingerForecasts.com reflects Kiplinger’s latest judgments on
what’s likely to happen next in business, the economy and
regulation. It features the online version of The Kiplinger Letter
enhanced with links to additional reports, data, statistics, charts,
graphs and government documents to help you make better business
decisions.

Fall Area Meeting Dates Set:
Chair Gordon Myers of Asheville has announced a schedule of Fall Area
Meetings that will take him and the association staff on a 22-city
tour to report to members and hear their input on issues. The tour
kicks off on Sept. 5 in the Triangle with a luncheon at the Angus Barn
and ends Oct. 29 with a reception at the Pinehurst Hotel and Country
Club. Please check the schedule below for the time of the meeting in
your city and reserve that date on your office calendar. Check
the date of the meeting in your city.
The tour, which will visit the same 22 cities as last year, is
arranged by regions, so if you can’t attend the meeting in your city
you probably will be able to catch another one in a nearby town.
Members are encouraged to bring prospective members to the meetings.
UNC Asheville Trustees:
Gov. Mike Easley has appointed NCCBI’s Leslie Bevacqua and Asheville
business and civic leader Janice Brumit to the UNC Asheville Board of
Trustees. Bevacqua and Brumit succeed Jesse Ray and Pam Turner, whose
terms ended, as university trustees along with Alfred Whitesides Jr.
of Asheville, who was appointed by the UNC Board of Governors.
Bevacqua is vice president of governmental affairs for NCCBI and is
rated among the most effective lobbyists in Raleigh. Last fall she
took a leave of absence from NCCBI to run the campaign for passage of
the $3.1 billion higher education bonds, which passed in all 100
counties.
Brumit, who with her husband, Joe, operates several Arby’s
restaurants in Western North Carolina, is one of Asheville’s most
prominent civic leaders. She is the current board chairman of both the
Asheville Chamber of Commerce and the Mission St. Joseph’s
Healthcare Foundation.
 Wicker Joins Board: Former
Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker (left), who now heads the governmental relations
practice at the Smith Helms Mulliss & Moore law firm in Raleigh,
has been appointed to the NCCBI Board of Directors to fill an
unexpired term. “I am excited about being a part of this group and
appreciate very much the opportunity to serve,” Wicker said in a
letter to association President Phil Kirk. He served several terms in
the state House and two terms as lieutenant governor before losing to
Mike Easley in last year’s Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Membership Directory in the
Mail: The 2001-02 edition of the NCCBI Membership Directory and
Buyer’s Guide has been published and should be arriving at your
office any day now. The 186-page book contains alphabetical listings
of all 2,250 NCCBI members as well as a county-by-county listing of
members as well as the Buyer’s Guide, the “yellow pages” section
where members are listed by type of business. The new directory, which
many praise as a useful statewide business phone book, also will be
posted soon at our web site, www.nccbi.org.
