You Can’t Afford to Miss

What’s Coming Next

Dear Members,

The momentum we’re building right now across the Carolinas is something you simply can’t afford to watch from the sidelines. Missing out on where the CIA is heading this next year means missing out on the exact resources, connections, and legislative cover your business needs to thrive.

Your CIA membership isn't just a line item—it’s your highest-return investment for the year ahead:

• Policy Power in Raleigh: Direct influence where water regulations and state legislation are decided, protecting your bottom line.
• Competitive Edge: High-impact education for your frontline crews and field staff, keeping your team safer, sharper, and more profitable.
• Talent Pipeline: Active support for the future of our trade, including industry scholarships and workforce initiatives that build a stronger, qualified talent pool for tomorrow.
• Market Visibility: A featured spot in our public member directory, connecting your business directly with consumers seeking reputable professionals.

The ROI of staying connected far outweighs the cost of going it alone. Want to make your renewal seamless? Click this link to email us and let us know you’d like to renew—we’ll take care of the rest!

SOIL & WATER SYMPOSIUM 2026

Thank you to all of our members who joined us for the 2026 Water & Soil Symposium! Carolinas Irrigation is proud to support the NCGIC and this important event as a sponsor. This important event allowed us to connect with fellow industry professionals for a day focused on the critical issues surrounding water, soil, and the green industry.

We also enjoyed kicking things off the night before with an informal member meet-up at Crooked Hammock Brewery. It was a great opportunity to catch up, make connections, and enjoy some time together before the symposium.

We appreciate everyone who made the event such a success and look forward to seeing you at the next one!
