The membership updated the by-laws and constitution, creating two-year terms for all officers (president-elect in even-numbered years and secretary and treasurer in odd-numbered years) and alternating election years to ensure continuity of leadership.
The membership decided to ensure the meetings rotated west, central, east, central, west, central, east, etc. to ensure accessibility for members.

The Drive-in meeting was held in March rather than in the summer.

A new format and schedule of meetings was introduced. The annual Drive-In meeting in Chapel Hill was moved from September to June. The annual conference was moved from June to September.
The association reviewed and updated its constitution and by-laws.
Members agreed to a new geographic rotation for the annual conference meeting on a five-year schedule of west, east, central, west, and east. The meeting would be held in the central less often than the east and west because the Drive-In is held annually in the central region.

The members approve official emeritus Awards and Meritorious Service Awards.

The members approved and began the annual statistical survey at the end of the summer with reports at the Drive-In Conference.
The summer schools across the State published 10,000 copies of a brochure, with forward by Governor Holshouser, on summer higher education opportunities.

The first annual Fall Drive-In Conference was held in Chapel Hill on September 26.
The members agreed to rotate the annual meeting to three regions of the State. Also, a fall luncheon was first held on November 5 at the Robert E. Lee Hotel in Winston-Salem.

The last fall breakfast meeting was held at the Jack Tar Hotel in Durham.
The group first discussed having a constitution and by-laws and surveyed members on this topic.
The first annual conference was held at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg.
