He will assume responsibilities of this position in May 2019, when current Chair-Elect Dan Noble, director of the Wyoming Department of Revenue, becomes NABCA Chairman of the Board.
A.D. "Zander" Guy, Jr. was appointed by Governor Roy Cooper to serve as Chairman of the NC ABC Commission in March 2017. Chairman Guy previously had served on the NC ABC Commission from 2009 to 2013 and was Chairman from February 2012 to February 2013.

“Chairman Guy has been serving the citizens of North Carolina for many years, not only through his role as mayor, but also as previous chairman of the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. His perspective about the changing alcohol beverage landscape as well as his experience, previous and current, will be valuable to NABCA as it continues to move forward,” said Jim Sgueo, NABCA president and CEO.
