As Chairman of the CarolinaBUY Board, I am proud to share how our cooperative purchasing program continues to deliver exceptional value to educational, governmental, and nonprofit organizations across North and South Carolina. CarolinaBUY streamlines procurement, reduces administrative burden, and unlocks the power of collective buying—giving our members access to competitively bid contracts that are easy to use and built for impact.

Together, we are not just saving time and money, we are strengthening our communities through smarter, more efficient purchasing. Thank you for being part of this growing network of collaboration and innovation.

Warm regards,

Fred Payne, Board Chairman, CarolinaBUY
