We are fortunate in North Carolina to have so many leaders willing to share their time and talents through public service.” O’Neill has recently completed his second term and sixth year of service on the board. He served as president of the board for four of those years. O’Neill was elected for each of his two terms by the licensed podiatrists in North Carolina and then appointed by the governor.
