| The Committee: |
Eddie Lynch, retired Corporate Public Affairs Manager
for CenturyLink, and Chair of North Carolina’s
Northeast Committee of 1000 is leading the way
toward better business to business relationships
across state lines. “There are a lot of
companies in Virginia that could easily expand
into our region. Our Committee of 1000 members
are knowledgeable of the latest developments in
North Carolina’s Northeast Region, so by making
contacts and letting those businesses see first
hand that expanding an existing business or
opening a new business in Northeastern North
Carolina is worthwhile, our efforts can pay off
immediately,” said Lynch.
Ray White, Vice President of Marketing for North
Carolina’s Northeast Commission is committed to
marketing the northeast region to businesses in
southeast Virginia. “Every week I receive calls
from interested businesses currently in
Virginia. With 15,000 commuters leaving our
area to work in Virginia, we have an untapped
resource for filling jobs in North Carolina’s
Northeast Region.” |
