ON MISSION.

Advocate. Collaborate. Innovate.

CCOC champions business, economic development, and education in Clayton, NC.  One way our investors can engage with our work is by serving on one of our important issues-based or advocacy committees, as well as community special event task forces. These committees and task forces advocate according to our mission, collaborate with the partners and stakeholders, and work to find innovative solutions for our community.  Get an update on our work by downloading the CCOC Impact Agenda below.

Initiative-based committees.
