I did not reference NFPA. I was in the NJ State Electrical Contractors Association, which has many local chapters.
You may want to look around in NC and see if there are similar groups with some 'benefits' for being a member.
NFPA is the people who write numerous codes, including the NEC. Membership there gets discounts on code books, CEUs, etc. It is more oriented to inspectors.
