Welcome to “A Day in the Life”. This is a production of the Center for Public Leadership and Governance at School of Government at the University of North Carolina. Each episode of “A Day in the Life” is a short podcast on the trials and tribulations newly elected local officials face each day as they serve their first year in public office. With “first meeting” guidance from incumbent officials, quick tips for sidestepping embarrassing media moments, and other advice, you’ll successfully navigate the potholes of public office.
