Our 2026 Campaign Chairs are:
Dr. Anthony O. Vann, Chief Deputy Secretary of Administration, with the Department of Adult Correction
Briles Johnson, Executive Director, VolunteerNC with the Office of the Governor
We thank them for their leadership and support!
It takes all of us working together! From the mountains to the coast, volunteers, donors and leaders bring the State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) to life each year. To everyone who has served, is serving, or will serve in support of the campaign: Thank You!
Continued leadership, energy, and commitment make this work possible. Charities are counting on us to be their voice - ensuring that all state employees are aware of the opportunity to support causes they care about through the SECC.
