Adam Murr, Budget & Evaluation Director for the City of Hendersonville, successfully completed the Leading for Results program at the UNC School of Government as a Civic Fellow. He was recognized at a recent City Council meeting for this honor.

This two-week program, held in November and December of 2025, brought together 24 individuals from across North Carolina identified as a critical leader in their local governments. Adam was selected through a competitive process from over 150 applicants.

“The Leading for Results program provided a powerful opportunity to intentionally grow as a leader and gain a deeper perspective on serving Hendersonville” said Adam Murr. “The course, cohort, and individual coaching encouraged deep reflection, offered practical strategies, and fostered meaningful connections with peer leaders across the State.” 

The Leading for Results program focuses on personal and organizational leadership, and involves individual-level professional coaching at no cost to the taxpayer thanks to Civic Federal Credit Union’s financial commitment. Participants were introduced to models of leadership as well as management and leadership tools and strategies. 

Civic Fellows had the opportunity to gain insight into their individual leadership styles and strengths and practice ways to increase their effectiveness within their organizations.
