January Newsletter
Note from the Director
Anticipation is high for the 2009 Emerging Issues Forum, Changing Landscapes: Building the Good Growth State? As we share our Forum agenda with leaders across the state, it is clear that IEI’s focus on our state’s growth and infrastructure could not come at a better time.
Update On Programs
Building the Good Growth State?
IEI’s Working Group on Growth and Infrastructure has been working diligently over the last three months to address challenges facing North Carolina’s built infrastructure. The Working Group was tasked with determining a set of broad policy directions critical for North Carolina to address if it is to build and maintain resilient built infrastructure that is distributed in a balanced and equitable way.
Emerging Debate -- Getting Ready for 2010
IEI has worked hard over the last few years on the elements that underpin our prosperity—finance, energy and infrastructure. We pay attention to the inputs for prosperity because prosperity sustains people. The time has come for the Institute to turn its attention directly towards people themselves.

The Institute for Emerging Issues staff partnered with the School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to brief Governor Perdue’s newly appointed cabinet on North Carolina’s future policy challenges. Roland Stephen and Diane Cherry, two of IEI's staff members, discussed the changes in North Carolina’s future along many dimensions including population changes, economic transformation, financial demands and natural resource constraints.
