Local Government Federal Credit Union (LGFCU) congratulates Jeff Jones, a senior planner with the Town of Holly Springs, who is the recipient of a $1,500 UNC School of Government (SOG) Scholarship Award. Jones, who is one of 24 scholarship winners, will use the money to attend a Municipal and County Administration course at the SOG at UNC-Chapel Hill. “The credit union strongly supports the School of Government because of their instrumental role in strengthening the job skills of local government employees, which in turn improves the communities in which they serve,” said LGFCU President Maurice Smith. The SOG is the largest university-based local government training, advisory and research organization in the United States, offering up to 200 classes, seminars, schools and specialized conferences for more than 12,000 public officials each year. The next application deadline is December 1, 2009. For more information, or to apply, contact the Financial Wellness staff at 877.367.5428 or visit www.lgfcu.org.
