“We are excited to have Sarahgrace on the the team,” said Nana Bentisi-Enchill, board chair. “As the pressures of COVID-19 subside and events begin to return, she will take the lead in planning events that work within (North Carolina Governor Roy Coper’s) directives, plus getting acquainted with sponsors and others who are integral to the success of the organization’s activities.”
