Webinar | 2026
Join NASPE for a conversation with Staci Meyer, North Carolina State Human Resources Director, and Angie Quirarte of Recoding America for an inside look at North Carolina’s efforts to modernize and simplify state government HR.
North Carolina’s transformation has included significant legislative and policy change, culminating in the bipartisan Public Workforce Modernization Act, which overhauled the state’s HR framework for the first time in more than 60 years. The reforms are designed to make state HR faster, easier to navigate, and more accountable, with changes ranging from more flexible pathways into state service and streamlined hiring to greater agency flexibility in classification and compensation.
