Southern City Magazine
Working As One. Advancing All.
League publications, regardless of format, keep members informed about best practices around the state and country, emerging trends and technologies, policy proposals that affect municipalities, programs and services offered by the League, and key events taking place across the state. Southern City magazine is received by every elected municipal official and every key appointed official, and Southern City also serves as a great source of information for the public about all that is going in North Carolina cities and towns.

We mention the upcoming Town and State Dinner, an event that brings together state legislators and municipal leaders to discuss important policy issues affecting North Carolina’s municipalities.
As always, this issue features a profile on one of our board members. Councilman Brian Jackson highlighted his dedication to public service and vision for local governance. A special Q&A with Rep. Gloristine Brown provides a deep dive into her journey to the state legislature the ways she is working to strengthen her communities.
