Put another way, NCInnovation backs the kind of university research that has…
Thank you for joining us this Saturday morning in early June – the time of year North Carolina’s peak tourism season is about to get into full swing. North Carolina consistently ranks among the best places to do business in the country. But we also rank among the top-five most-visited states, clocking in at just under…
From the desk of Chuck Fuller, CEO of The Results Company Thank you for joining us on the Saturday of this Memorial Day weekend. I’m an avid student of military history, as regular readers well know.

From the desk of Mike Rusher Some time ago I was asked the question, “Do you know what the two dates on our state flag signify?” My mind raced back to American history classes – where does your mind go? The North Carolina state flag features two dates, highlighted in yellow ribbon: April 12, 1776,…

From the desk of Chuck Fuller, CEO of The Results Company Throughout the year, I look forward to the privilege of sharing with you some of my own personal reflections, usually around the holidays. Most of you know well by now that I’m a man of deep faith (so the Easter holiday is one I…
From the desk of Mike Rusher This morning is a departure from our usual format. Rather than a one-way briefing on a timely business issue, we are inviting input, and potentially support, on a high-impact initiative that has played a central role in North Carolina’s sustained economic development success since 2021. A little more than…
Thanks for joining us this Saturday morning. In 2021, the legislature and then-Gov. Roy Cooper agreed to terms on House Bill 951, a landmark energy deal that – at the time, anyway – promised a framework for North Carolina’s energy future.
