Commissioner El-Amin Completes Advanced Leadership Training at UNC School of Government

Forsyth County Commissioner Fleming El-Amin completed the Advanced Leadership Corps (ALC) training from 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, and the School will celebrate the program’s 100th graduate this year.

El-Amin said that he was honored and encouraged to have been a part of ALC. He said participants become like a family of leaders sharing their skills to solve common problems.

“It’s a needed model for local government to use to solve common problems,” said El-Amin.

The program is offered with modest cost to local governments due to financial support from Prudential Financial.
