Notes on Attire

Wednesday’s program will include time spent on the floor of the North Carolina General Assembly and requires coat and tie or suit for men and comparable distinguished dress for women. “Business casual” for Tuesday’s tour and Thursday’s session means you don’t need to be in a suit but you should look polished and professional. We encourage business attire for the Tuesday reception at the Executive Mansion. Class dinners are always casual attire.

We work hard to have a comfortable room temperature in all meeting locations, but “comfortable” is different for everyone.  We recommend layers or bringing a light sweater or jacket just in case.

 

 

Meals and Snacks

LNC believes in keeping you well-fueled by presenting a variety of options at meals and breaks. Breakfasts are always optional but encouraged. They provide an extra opportunity to engage with your classmates, reflect on session content, and settle in for the day ahead. The Wednesday class dinner is required and counts towards the program attendance requirement.
