Welcome to the Internet home of the North Carolina Association of Government Information Officers, a nonprofit group of public affairs
professionals in state and local government agencies that is dedicated to the principles of open government. Members are communication links between the media, public
and government. The NCAGIO is dedicated to the professional enhancement of its members and offers several opportunities throughout the year for members to gather
