Orange County, North Carolina

Orange County North Carolina is committed to the prevention and elimination of bias and discrimination. In 1987 the Orange County Board of Commissioners (“BOCC”) created the Human Relations Commission, an advisory board to the BOCC, whose charge it is to address and attempt to remedy the…harm created through the practices of discrimination, bias, hatred and civil inequality. In 2004, the BOCC asked the Human Relations Commission to develop a Social Justice Goal. After a great deal of community participation, the Social Justice goal was adopted in September 2010. Since that time the BOCC has also committed to using the goal as a tool for reviewing items voted on by the BOCC. The Board has allocated money for a social justice fund which has funding items such as: additional support for the refugee communities and affordable housing for tenants displaced from mobile home parks. The BOCC has also committed funding so that all County employees can receive racial equity awareness training. Annette Moore currently serves as the Director of the Department of Human Rights and Relations as well as a Senior Staff Attorney for Orange County, North Carolina. Ms. Moore has worked more than twenty-five years in the field of Human and Civil Rights and more than twenty of those years in Orange County. Mr. Moore is often thought of as a strategic thinker because she is well known for her ability to assess a situation, identify and secure appropriate resources, and develop effective plans of action. She is very active in the community and has created numerous successful partnerships throughout the area with key stakeholders.
