Childcare Crisis: A $5.65 Billion Problem? Join the Conversation!

On Tuesday, September 17, the Greenville-Pitt County Chamber Power Luncheon will dive into a topic that hits close to home for every parent: North Carolina’s childcare crisis.

Experts from NC Child, Erica Palmer Smith (Executive Director) and Kelvin Stallings (Director of Community Engagement), will shed light on this pressing issue and its crippling economic impact. A recent report reveals a staggering $5.65 billion in lost economic activity due to the lack of affordable, accessible childcare. This shortage prevents parents from fully participating in the workforce, hindering our state’s growth potential.

Join us for a crucial conversation on how we can address this challenge. Purchase your tickets here, and RSVP by noon on Friday, September 13, to secure your spot.

Ward and Smith is a proud sponsor of the Greenville-Pitt County Chamber Power Luncheon.
