David says "The 7x24 Exchange National Organization provides a solid platform for the Carolinas Chapter to flourish into one of the top Chapters in the Country. Our goal is to promote better understanding of the design, implementation and management issues involved in achieving high levels of uninterrupted infrastructure support for data centers. This journey started in 2009 with National granting us our new Chapter Charter. We conducted our first Board of Directors meeting and first Chapter meeting in 2010. Since then we have built a Team of professionals from all corners of the Mission Critical Industry. Today we have over 270 member companies with the most active Executive Committee and Board Members to provide a uniquely memorable atmosphere at our Chapter Meetings; attended from multiple states. It has been my honor to have been involved with starting the Carolinas Chapter and seeing it develop to what it is now. Membership and participation is an absolute must for those who design, build, operate, and maintain mission critical enterprise information infrastructures."
