Member Spotlight

Camellia Nixon

Public Policy Chair

Camellia Nixon had the pleasure to participate as a panelist at two internal events within Wells Fargo  Black African American Connection to expand QCMC’s footprint within the Charlotte Mecklenburg  community. She spoke to approximately 268 employees about our organization and towards voter  education on the upcoming election schedule .  
​
She provided the latest updates as a response to the members' questions and for continued engagement  with our organization. These updates cover the possible changes to voters in North Carolina at the state  and local levels of government.​
 There are three voter and elections Bills in the North Carolina General  Assembly that will make changes to how we vote. One deals with mail in voting and the second one bans  outside groups from giving grants to counties for election funding. The third would expand online voter registration and create a mobile unit to assist people with ID’s.
