In the morning, I attended a hearing on improving telehealth, and improving academic transparency. After this hearing, I rushed over to the administration building to meet Ms. Perkinson and her clients. They had a meeting with the Governor’s Senior Education Advisor, Geoff Coltrane (picture with him above). I was able to sit in on the meeting and observe.
After lunch, Ms. Perkinson and Ms. Beaulieu had a meeting so I met up with Ms. Beaulieu’s intern Zack, a graduate student at UNC law school. Since they both represent the NC Music Educators Association, we needed to schedule appointments with legislators for June 7th, the day that the organization would be coming in for an advocacy day. Thus, we went all over the legislative buildings introducing ourselves and scheduling appointments. Luckily we seemed to be pretty successful.
