Movers & Shakers:
Meet Team Equality NC
Equality North Carolina board and staff members pose for a photo after their 2009 gala in Greensboro.
In qnotes' last print issue of 2009, Equality
North Carolina (ENC) Executive Director In
Palmquist was named our Person of the Year.
His hard work and dedication on behalf of
LGBT North Carolinians has led to increased
awareness in the halls of the state legislature
and the success of pro-LGBT legislation,
including the landmark School Violence
Prevention Act
But Palmquisfs success would likely be
muted if not for the assistance and dedica
tion of his colleagues. Like their head honcho,
who's worked with the organization for 10
years, ENC's paid staff and volunteer board
lend their wisdom, talent, knowledge and
passion to creating legislative and policy
progress for LGBT North Carolinians.
If the job is logistics, ENC administrative
coordinator Shawn Long is your man. Want
to mail the group a big fat check, a small
donation or simply connect ENC to a poten
tial donor, call Director of Development Kay
Flaminio. If local or grassroots organizing is
more your thing, Rebecca Mann, director
of community organizing and outreach, is
your guru.
This spring, ENC has also welcomed
several interns across the state who will
assist the group in various functions: Aaron
Camp, Western Carolina University (Western
NC Organizing); Hillary Waugh, North Carolina
State University (Development); Danielle
O'Bryan, North Carolina State University
(Communications); Jack Grote, Duke
(Volunteer Coordination); and Brant Miller,
University of North Carolina at Greensboro
(Organizing).
ENC's board is chaired by Hunter
Corn of Raleigh. Their foundation chair is
Greensboro's Addison Ore, who also works
as executive director of Triad Health Project
The ENC Political Action Committee board is
chaired by Colleen Kochanek.
