Barry J Reed , 2021

Chief of Party (DOBRE Program)Global Communities
My UNC MPA provided a solid foundation in local governance upon which I built two careers. First, I worked as a local government manager. Then, I provided assistance to strengthen local governments in the developing world. My UNC MPA literally helped me see the world and help people along my journey.
