Community Planning and Zoning: Making Better Decisions-A Workshop for Veteran Elected Officials

Today's  elected officials are confronted with controversial and complicated decisions about land use and development. Veteran elected officials will learn more about their role in planning and zoning, navigating the zoning process, and working effectively with others to make better decisions. Decisions made today affect North Carolina's future.

This course is open to county and municipal veteran elected officials.
Elected officials are encouraged to invite their county or municipal managers to join them.

Information on State Mandated Ethics Training: 
Community Planning and Zoning: Making Better Decisions includes two hours of ethics training. Registration is required. This updated training fulfills the ethics education requirement for local elected officials mandated by state law each time an official is elected or re-elected. If an official is on the November 2011 ballot and wins the initial election or re-election, two hours of ethics training is required prior to November 2012. Attorneys can claim two hours of general CLE credit.


To attend ethics, registration for Community Planning and Zoning is required.  For additional information on ethics legislation, please visit the ethics website.

A Note to Veteran Municipal Elected Officials:
Veteran municipal elected officials have the option to attend a two day combination of Essentials of Municipal Government and Community Planning and Zoning.
