Overview
The state of North Carolina is in the midst of monumental change. The state is expected to grow by more than one million people over the next 20 years. This growth is an opportunity, but it also brings stresses and strains to our governmental systems. Local elected officials have asked for education and training on how to lead and adapt to the projected growth and the unprecedented pace of change.
In response, the School of Government, in partnership with the NC League of Municipalities and the NC Association of County Commissioners, has created the Local Elected Leaders Academy. Through this new educational program, municipal and county elected officials will gain the knowledge and skills they need to lead and govern their communities in the 21st century.
