North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced new appointments to state boards and commissions earlier this week, including several Orange County residents.
The governor appointed Alison Kiser and Beth Posner as at-large members of the North Carolina Council for Women. Kiser is a Hillsborough resident who serves as senior director of external affairs for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic; she’s also served as the president of North Carolina Women United. Posner is a clinical associate professor at the UNC School of Law, with specializations in domestic violence, sexual assault, family law and immigration.
Another UNC professor received an appointment to a different board: Gov. Cooper appointed Sandra Greene as chair of the North Carolina State Health Coordinating Council. Greene is the co-director of the Health Care Economics and Finance Program at the Gillings School of Global Public Health.
Finally, the governor appointed four more at-large members to the Historic Hillsborough Commission: William Craft Abbotts, Richard Lawrence Hill, Phyllis Mack Horton, and Cathleen D. Turner. Abbotts is a longtime Triangle resident who worked at UNC for nearly four decades; Hill is the owner and designer for HillStudio; Horton is the co-founder of the Hillsborough-based education nonprofit Beyond Expectations; and Turner is the director of Preservation North Carolina’s Piedmont Regional Office and a longtime member of the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough’s board of directors. The additions to the commission come just a few weeks after eight other Orange County community members were selected by Cooper.
