As the culmination of the North Carolina Rising project, UNC-TV presents topical town hall meetings. Moderated by UNC-TV’s Director of Production, Shannon Vickery, each event features a dialogue among expert panelists, representing local leadership in education, policy and industry, and viewers like you. UNC-TV’s North Carolina Rising project is funded by the Golden LEAF Foundation, a nonprofit corporation created in 1999 to receive one-half of the funds coming to North Carolina from a master settlement agreement with cigarette manufacturers. In turn, the Foundation is helping North Carolinians make the transition from a tobacco-dependent economy through grants and investments that will positively affect the long-term economic advancement of the state. Golden LEAF gives priority in its grantmaking to tobacco-dependent and economically distressed counties. Click here to North Carolina Rising website. |
