The William & Ida Friday Conference Center at the University of North Carolina recently received accreditation and membership from the International Association of Conference Centers (IACC). In order to meet IACC’s stringent guidelines and become a part of the organization, Conference Center Director Debra Watkins began renovating the Friday Center in 2012. The updates to the building included new fl ooring in the dining and service areas, as well as the main corridors of the building.
