Bryony Williams, Dick Bartelt Volunteer Network Leader of the Year, regional networks. Williams, a 2005 NC Stage grad who works at UNC-Pembroke, contacted the Alumni Association this summer about reviving the alumni network in Fayetteville, N.C. In just four months, Williams planned four events for alumni in the Fayetteville area, including an NC State Wine and Design night (where alums had a chance to be artistic while enjoying wine and the company of fellow Wolfpackers). Williams maintains an active Facebook presence for her group and makes it a point to welcome new members individually.

She has also spearheaded an effort to encourage alumni to contribute to two scholarship endowments for African and African-American students at NC State.
Dare County Network leaders with Alumni Association staff
The Dare County Alumni Network, Network of the Year. The Dare County group was formed in 2010 under the direction of Tommy Fulcher, Elizabeth Morey and Marie Holland. They have brought in several NC State speakers — including Chancellor Randy Woodson, women’s head basketball coach Kellie Harper and professor Mike Walden — to talk with area alumni. They have used social media and local newspapers to advertise their events and have aggressively encouraged area alumni to join the Alumni Association. They recently sent a letter to recent graduates encouraging them to join the Association.
Congratulations, and thank you, to all the winners!
