At Michael Best, we are proud to support organizations that provide essential resources to our communities. This year, our Wilmington team partnered with the Food Bank of Central &amp; Eastern NC. Volunteers helped sort and pack nearly 3,000 pounds of fresh vegetables for immediate distribution.

Our Wilmington Office always appreciates the chance to come together over great food and conversation. This year, the Thanksgiving meal helped everyone reconnect before the holiday weekend began. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the past year’s success and look forward to what is to come in 2026.

Our Wilmington Office was honored to serve as a major sponsor for the 2025 Azalea Festival. Clients and team members traveled from Milwaukee, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greenville to celebrate with our clients and team members. From hosting clients and civic leaders to joining festival events across the city, our team embraced the opportunity to connect, give back, and be part of an unforgettable community celebration.

We loved attending the Wilmington Global Leadership Summit. Speakers emphasized that leadership is built through consistent habits, values-driven decisions, and a commitment to helping others thrive. At Michael Best, it is always our goal to empower our clients to be the very best versions of themselves.
