Jim Hunt served as North Carolina's governor
for four terms (1977-85; 1993-2001), the longest that any
governor has been elected in North Carolina. He is a nationally
recognized leader in education, and his Smart Start program
is a nonprofit, public-private partnership providing quality
child care, health care and family support for children who
need it. Former Governor Hunt has devoted much of the last
fifteen years of his life to excellence in teaching in the
United States. In 1985 he co-chaired with David Hamburg the "Committee of 50" which led to the Carnegie Forum on Education
and the Economy and eventually, to the National Board for
Professional Teaching Standards. Former Governor Hunt also

and America's Future at Stanford University. He also serves
on the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Corporation of New
York.

African American justice to serve as Chief Justice; he was
also the first African American on the state Supreme Court.

in the North Carolina State House until 1980 when he was elected
to the NC Senate, serving until 1982. He has been a member
