"WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of all North Carolinians to recognize and acknowledge that it is not disability,
but unjust societal barriers and attitudes that can keep individuals from realizing their full potential at school, work, home, and/or in their communities..."

We agree! The employees at Extraordinary Ventures truly do realize their full potential at work and we are very fortunate to have such an outstanding team.
