NCFEPA is planning a fall conference for October 6-9, 2025. Our plans include a half-day new director's support meeting on October 6. This meeting is designed to support both new and not-so-new Federal Program Directors. It will be facilitated by veteran directors who will provide an overview of topics from the field as well as tips and tricks veterans have found that new directors can use. October 7-9 will feature keynotes, breakout sessions, and federal updates from Washington, DC and Raleigh.
