SUMMARY:An Evening with Secretary of State Elaine Marshall
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to spend an evening with our esteemed Secretary of State Elaine Marshall at the beautiful Don Gibson Theatre on Thursday\, January 4. And you do not want to miss this. \n\n\n\nYou will enjoy a delicious meal\, other awesome activities\, and be present for the DWCC’s Fall Raffle Drawing when when a lucky ticket holder wins a free week at Hilton Head Beach & Tennis Resort. \n\n\n\nLet’s talk a bit more about Secretary Marshall. She is an amazing woman\, a committed Democrat\, and a stellar Secretary of State! Here’s a little of what this impressive lady has accomplished: \n\n\n\n__________ \n\n\n\nIn 1996\, Elaine Marshall became the first woman elected to a statewide executive branch office in North Carolina. She immediately established herself as a competent administrator with an eye toward reform. She has received national recognitions for modernizing the Secretary of State’s office by introducing up to date technology and reducing red tape. \n\n\n\nSince taking office\, Elaine has cut the costs of doing business in North Carolina—helping small businesses create jobs and enabling free enterprise and capital formation. She has led the effort to reform North Carolina’s lobbying laws. Elaine remains committed to making public information transparent and accessible to businesses\, investors and individuals. Her efforts have helped make North Carolina one of the most affordable places in the United States to do business. \n\n\n\nThe Secretary of State’s office today is a key law enforcement agency protecting consumers\, investors\, and charitable givers against fraud and scams. Elaine’s commitment to protecting investors has led to long prison terms for criminals and has refunded over $1 billion from major Wall Street firms for misrepresentation to North Carolina investors. She also has received international recognition for her efforts protecting trademark holders\, eliminating harmful and dangerous counterfeit goods and prosecuting counterfeiters. \n\n\n\nIn 2015\, she served as President of the National Secretaries of State and received the Lillian’s List Courage Award. A longtime member of 4-H\, in 2014 she was one of fourteen from across the country who was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame. \n\n\n\nIn 1993-1994\, Elaine served in the North Carolina Senate\, where she was named Rookie of the Year and listed among Legislators to Watch by the News & Observer. In the Senate\, she provided a powerful voice for improving healthcare in North Carolina.
