Management Services

The Cape Fear Council of Governments serves as a first response resource to all our local government members and especially those who are tasked with management of their organization. Both elected and appointed leadership has at its finger tips a career local government administrator with over thirty years of local government management experience to use as a sounding board for ideas, advice on any issues, or to use as a facilitator for executive retreats. The Finance Department is available to assist with local government finance questions.

Here is a list of typical Management Services:

• Professional Administration
• Confidential Management Consultation
• Personnel and Human Resources including preparing personnel policy rewrites and Comparative Salary Studies
• Grants Administration
• Resource Development-grants
