Welcome to the North Carolina Association of Educational Office Professionals, Inc. (NCAEOP) website.
NCAEOP is a vibrant and supportive organization of around 500 dedicated members, and it is truly an honor to serve as your President for the 2026-2027 year. As a non-profit association, our mission is to provide educational office professionals with professional growth opportunities, leadership development, and avenues of service. Through our certification program, high-quality training, statewide networking, and recognition of achievement, we help our members flourish in their careers.
Our Association is made up of fourteen districts across North Carolina, each hosting at least one annual district meeting with in-service training, in addition to active local unit meetings. The collaborative work of officers and committees ensures that every member has the opportunity to be involved in shaping the direction of our Association at the local, district, and state levels.
Membership is open to all educational office personnel and administrators within North Carolina’s public and private educational systems. If you haven’t joined us yet, I warmly invite you to become a part of this empowering experience—and for current members, I encourage you to renew and continue your journey of growth.
Our theme this year is “Bee the Change.” We’ve chosen the bee as our symbol because it represents exactly who we are and who we strive to be. Bees are small but mighty. They too are tireless workers, natural collaborators, and essential to growth. Most importantly, they don’t work along—nothing thrives without the hive.
As we move into this new year, I challenge each of us to Bee the Change:
- To look within and ask how we can grow—professionally and personally.
- To support one another, share ideas, and lift each other up.
- To step forward with courage, even when change feels uncomfortable.
Change doesn’t always come from grand gestures. Often, it comes from small, consistent actions—showing up, speaking up, mentoring someone new, or being open to a fresh perspective. When we each commit to doing out part, the impact is powerful.
Together, let’s Bee the Change and make this a year to remember.
With Honor and Gratefulness,
Linda Berard, CEOE
NCAEOP 2026-2027 President
