Vicki Lipscomb, President and Executive Director
In 1982, Vicki and her mother, Doris Cromartie, became aware that federal reimbursement was available for food expenses in family child care homes. However, homes in many parts of North Carolina could not receive funds because there were no sponsoring organizations to process the paperwork. CNP, Inc was born when the women applied for and received a contract with the state to become a food program sponsor. They began contacting family child care homes in Mecklenburg County to make the operators aware of the program's benefits. The Fayetteville office was opened in 1983.

In addition to running CNP, Vicki served for 8 years on the North Carolina Child Care Commission, the state child care regulatory body. She is past president of the CACFP Sponsor's Association (TSA), a nationwide voice for CACFP and provider of education and support to food program administrators. Contact Vicki by email at vicki@cnpinc.org.
