SHARON HARKER COMPLETES ADVANCED LEADERSHIP TRAINING
PROVIDED BY THE UNC SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT
BEAUFORT - Beaufort Mayor Pro-tem, Sharon Harker completed the Advanced Leadership Corps (ALC) training offered annually to county and municipal elected officials by the School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
ALC is a weeklong program designed by the School’s Center for Public Leadership and Governance to help elected officials understand the broader challenges of governing in today’s environment, to enable them to build their personal leadership abilities, and to give them an opportunity to learn how to lead and act collaboratively. More than 80 municipal and county elected officials from across North Carolina have completed this selective program since its inception, and this year, the School will celebrate the program’s 100th graduate.
“I am so grateful to be a graduate of the ALC program,” said Harker. “During my week of training, I gained and learned crucial knowledge that will help me become a better leader for the citizens of Beaufort.”
Generous financial support from Prudential Financial allows elected officials from across the state to attend with only modest cost to the local unit of government.
