North Carolina Operations Center
AKC employs approximately 300 administrative and professional employees at its Operations Center in Raleigh, NC. The office is located in northwest Raleigh in the Brier Creek Corporate Center at the intersection of I-540 and Route 70. This area is conveniently located in Raleigh through its proximity to major roads and the RDU Airport, as well as it offers a prominent display of American Kennel Club signage that will be seen from I-540.

AKC's Chief Operating Officer heads the Raleigh office. Major divisions include Registration, Customer Service, Compliance, Event and Judging Operations, and Companion and Performance Events. Information Services, Purchasing, and Human Resources are also located here.

In addition, two AKC affiliated companies, AKC/Companion Animal Recovery and AKC/Canine Health Foundation, are housed in the same location with the AKC Operations Center in Raleigh, NC. All have relocated together to the new location in Raleigh.

New Location for Raleigh office!
After a search of more than 40 locations in the Raleigh area, the decision was made to move the Raleigh facility to the Brier Creek Corporate Center near U.S. 70 and I-540 in northwest Raleigh, about a 15-minute drive from our former office on Centerview Drive. The new location is a completely new building located in a fast-growing retail and corporate development area.
