Anson County commissioners adopt resolution honoring longtime elections director Lillie Rochelle Williams
Summary
The Anson County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution Jan. 20, 2025, recognizing Lillie Rochelle Williams for more than 21 years as Director of Elections and for subsequent service on the county board; the packet lists her election as president of the North Carolina Association of Directors of Elections for 1999–2001.
The Anson County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution Jan. 20, 2025, honoring Lillie Rochelle Williams for her service to county elections and for later service on the board, the meeting materials show.
The board’s resolution says Williams served more than 21 years as Anson County’s Director of Elections from Aug. 1, 1986, to Dec. 31, 2007, and later served on the Board of Commissioners as chairman, vice-chairman and board member from 2014 to 2020. The resolution also notes that Williams was elected president of the North Carolina Association of Directors of Elections for 1999–2001.
The operative language of the resolution reads, in part, that the Anson County Board of Commissioners “does hereby Recognize and Honor Mrs. Lillie Rochelle Williams for her exceptional accomplishments and for her many contributions to County services in Board of Elections.” That text appears in the meeting packet and is recorded as adopted on Jan. 20, 2025.
The packet lists meeting contacts, including Leonard Sossamon as County Manager and Marina Adams as Clerk to the Board; the transcript does not include a motion text, mover/second, or a vote tally for the adoption. The resolution is recorded simply as "Adopted this 20th day of January 2025."
The item is a ceremonial recognition of a former county official; no further policy action or implementation steps are listed in the meeting materials.
