Recent placements on the BoardWalk

A long-time volunteer for many causes, he was one of three co-chairs of the University of North Carolina's $2-billion capital campaign, which concluded last year having raised $300 million more than originally targeted. Charlie received his law and undergraduate degrees from UNC, and he is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. |
