Organized in 1973, the Association's purpose is to establish and maintain a structure through which members may be united in a professional development and improvement effort for the benefit of themselves and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
In 1979, the Association changed its name to the North Carolina Association of Agricultural Extension Secretaries. In 1991, it became the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Secretaries Association (NCCESA) and in 2012, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Administrative Professionals Association (NCCEAPA).
On July 17, 1973, Edith Herter and Frances O'Neal, Secretaries in the Catawba County Extension Office, sent a letter to all Extension Secretaries in North Carolina asking their opinion of establishing an organization of Extension Secretaries in North Carolina. The response was so overwhelming that organizational meetings were held in Newton, Catawba County, Southwestern District and Asheville (Western District) on Saturday, August 18, 1973. Several secretaries from other districts attended the meeting in Newton and returned to their offices to start working on an organizational meeting in their respective districts. The North Central District organizational meeting was held on Saturday, September 15, 1973, in Person County. Information is not available to determine dates of organizational meetings of other districts.
The state organizational meeting was held on Saturday, November 10, 1973, at Guilford County Agricultural Center in Greensboro. Attendance was: Western District - 0; Northwestern - 6; Southwestern - 14; North Central - 11; South Central - 9; Northeastern - 4; Southeastern - 14.
