“"I
have served as county attorney for Cabarrus County for
more than sixteen years. Probably the most successful
collaboration with the Institute was with former faculty
member Jeff Koeze when we, along with our local health
director, created the Cabarrus Health Alliance, which
has since become the single most successful public health
entity in the state."
“"I
served as a Superior Court Judge for sixteen years,
and prior to being a judge I was a prosecutor. I have
had connections with the Institute of Government in
two roles, as prosecutor and judge. As a judge, the
Institute has been very important to me because they
have literally held my hand as I have tried to make
my way through capital cases. Capital cases are very
stressful because you want to get everything right.
I can remember times when I have called Jim Drennan
on Saturdays and Sundays, any time of the day or night,
and he has literally talked me through an analysis of
a decision I am trying to make. I am really grateful
for what the Institute has done for me."
"I
have twenty-seven years of local government experience
beginning my career as a Purchasing Clerk Trainee in
a neighboring county. The Institute of Government is
very important to me because it helped me to meet the
educational requirement to be hired by the City of Concord
where I have been since 1987 and to be promoted to my
current position of Finance Director in 1992. I have
also enjoyed the networking with my peers across the
State and have made many good friends while attending
courses at the Institute."
"Whether
the question involves public records, bidding requirements,
open meetings, personnel law, economic development,
zoning, taxes or law enforcement, the Institute of Government
has a faculty member who is an expert in the field.
No other state in the union has a resource comparable
to our Institute. The work of the Institute is a major
reason we have such good government in North Carolina."
“"The
Institute of Government has been indispensable over
the years to the judiciary of our state by assisting
in planning, arrangements, accommodations, programs,
speakers, orientation of new judges, conferences, materials,
socials, research, and advise. There is no other organization
with the ability to provide all of this help and these
services to our judges."
