My Future NC is a commission with cross-sector representation from business, education, government, nonprofits, and philanthropy, and it will assess the state’s economic and educational needs, and then plan ways to meet them.
By the end of 2018, the commission will have released two reports — one establishing its goals and another making policy recommendations on how to attain them. UNC System President Margaret Spellings, who co-chairs the commission along with Bank of America Chief Administrative Officer Andrea Smith and Medical Mutual Holdings Chief Eexcutive Officer Dale Jenkins, has drawn attention to the state’s lack of a statewide educational attainment goal. This commission’s work, Spellings said, comes out of that concern.
