Become a Member of NCBEMO

 

The North Carolina Black Elected Municipal Officials represents the vision of a trenchant delegation of elected officials who gathered in Asheville, N.C. during the 1981 Annual meeting of the North Carolina League of Municipalities and proclaimed the need for active engagement within the structure of NCLM. The element of change envisioned was to create an environment for black elected officials to become an integral part of the operations of the League. Today, NCBEMO is a nonpartisan, nonprofit statewide organization of current black elected municipal officials and supporters of the organization.
