RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Local elected officials have an opportunity to participate in an ethics-focused webinar later this month.

The League of Municipalities website posting shows the webinar scheduled for May 20 at 1 p.m.

The description is as follows:

"In 2009, the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation that requires local governing boards to adopt a code of ethics and requires board members to receive 2 clock hours of ethics training within 12 months of each election and re election, as well as appointment and reappointment, to local office. The School of Government is offering this live webinar as an easy way for elected officials to fulfill this legal requirement. All you need is a computer with internet access."
