OUR HISTORY The North Carolina College

of ACPA. We are proud of our recent accomplishments and awards from ACPA.
NCCPA was named the Outstanding State Division in 1990, 1994, 1996, 1997,
2000, 2001, and 2006 and has received the Award for Innovation in 1998,

State/International Leaders: Leslie Rand-Pickett of NC State (2003), Shelly
Myers of ECU (2006), and Diane Reed of UNCW (2008).
