"The Governor's Educator Discovery Award gives teachers the flexibility to choose professional development opportunities that will help them become better practitioners and inspire and support their students", said Lilyn Hester, NCBCE Chair. "NCBCE members know and strongly support the importance of professional development for teachers across our state, especially during this challenging time".

NCBCE operates out of the Office of the Governor as a non-partisan, business-led education non-profit. NCBCE has been providing the critical link between North Carolina Business leaders and the state's education decision-makers since 1983 through work-based learning opportunities, professional development opportunities, and North Carolinian's overall work readiness across the state.
