The designation was presented by the president of the organization, John Nelms.
“The NCEDA Member Emeritus program honors longtime NCEDA members, career economic developers and proven servants of the public trust,” said Nelms.
Porter served as the economic development director for Hoke County and Town of Raeford from the years 1999 to 2019.
