The UNC School of Government has always attracted creative people who want to make a difference. At a time when record numbers of public leaders are retiring, the school has the opportunity to identify and train the next generation of North Carolina leaders. A $7.1 million investment in the school by Local Government Federal Credit Union in 2014 ensures that Carolina faculty members continue to work with government officials to identify innovative ways to improve their effectiveness — and to improve life for North Carolina citizens.
