Granville County Commissioner Tim Karan (District 6) has successfully completed Advanced Leadership Corps (ALC) training by the School of Government at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The week-long residential program, offered annually to local elected officials, provides opportunities for participants to learn more about their own behaviors and practices while strengthening their abilities to lead and to govern.
“With the ever-changing political climate, it was important for me to take a deep and introspective look at my leadership style and personality traits to become an even more effective community leader,” Commissioner Karan said. “This course offered me the self-analysis to do that and helped me to learn more about topics that impact the lives, health and safety of those I serve. I am grateful to have had this opportunity.”
More than 140 local elected officials from across North Carolina have completed this leadership development training.
ALC is an intensive and selective program designed by the School’s Center of Public Leadership and Governance and is supported by generous donations from Prudential Financial. Through this financial support, participants are enrolled and can attend at little cost to the local unit of government. The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) also provides cost offsets for county elected officials to attend.
