Just a few words to introduce myself. My name is Archie C. Pertiller Jr and it is an honor to be one of nine candidates for Black Mountain Alderman. I am the fifth of seven generations who has and still lives in the beautiful Town of Black Mountain. I am a member of Mills Chapel Baptist Church where I serve as a member of the Gospel Choir, Usher and Treasurer.
Prior to my retirement a little over a year ago, I was employed by the Black Mountain Center for 6 years Abuse Treatment Center for 23 years. Currently, I am CEO/Co-Owner of NCI Plus an approved North Carolina Behavioral Management Program.
I’ve had the privilege to serve on numerous boards, committees and civic organizations. I’ve served on the SECU Advisory Board, Zoning Board of Adjustments, Chair of the Swannanoa Valley MLK (Prayer Breakfast) Corp., Chair of the Executive Board of Directors Swannanoa Montessori School (Black Mountain Montessori). I am currently serving on the board of trustees for UMAR a nonprofit company based in Charlotte, and the Black Mountain Center Foundation.
I’ve watched Black Mountain grow tremendously in my lifetime, and my vision is to see it continue to grow through a collaborative effort between our community and town government.
