how the state purchasing
program works and what
the state buys.
Businesses in Perquimans
County may be potential
suppliers to state govern
ment if they produce or sell
chemicals, road building
materials, appliances,
hospital supplies, food and
food service equipment,
school or office supplies,
and many other items.
The state also has con
tractual need* foe con
sultants, janitorial services,
construction and repair, ex
terminators, and others.
Representatives from the
State Division of Purchase
and Contract, the Office of
State Property and Con
struction, and the State Of
fice of Minority Business
Enterprise will explain pur
chasing procedures and
rules answering any ex
isting questions. Also pre
sent at the meeting will be
representatives from many
local state-supported
agencies.
"The exchanges are
designed to answer the ques
tions of local small business
persons, to let local state
agencies know what goods
and services are available
close at hand, and to provide
opportunity for buyers and
sellers to get to know each
other," explained Willis
Holding Jr., director of the
Division of Purchase and
Contract. "But potential
suppliers should not expect
to attend the meeting,
negotiate a contract and
walk away with a purchase
order from the state."
Holding added that
business persons will benefit
from the meetings and will
learn much about the pur
chasing system and how to
have an opportunity to bid
on state services and
supplies.
More information on the
meeting is available from
the Office of Minority
Business Enterprise, (919)

Agriculture Commis
sioner Jim Graham has en
dorsed the referenda for all
participationg commodity

"These assessments are
tiny compared to the good
they do in promotion of
pork, eggs, cattle, and
corn," the commissioner
said. "The funds are used to
develop new markets, new
and better products and new
varieties and it is done
through producer self
help."
The North Carolina

collects the assessments
and all funds are turned
over to the organizations.
To pass, the referenda re
quire a two-thirds favorable
majority. Eligible voters

COMMENTS ON POLICY.
The most important task of
a School Board is to formulate
policy for school governance.
Policy-making is what School
Board membership is all about
No School Board can be as
effective without it Sound policy
development liberates Boards
from details of execution and
places these details on the
shoulders of the administration
where they should be.
However, no policy should be
so rigid that it does not speak
to the changing times in which
we live.
I believe that the most im
portant policy of all is to be
willing to change existing pol
icies when the need arises. And
ifs very important that Board
members should know the dif
ference between policy and ad
ministration.
One way local Board members
can develop expertise in policy
making has come about due to
a program developed by the
six-county Alliance (or Progress,
Inc. This group is offering Phase
II of the Rockefellar Program to
local elected officiate that will
address problems and solutions
in policy-making.
Through my experience on the
Board of Education, I recognize
the need for sound policy devel
opment and look forward to par
ticipating in this AFP program as
a means to improve my role as a
School Board member.
Next week: A final statement.
