JCPC approves Nicole Stallings as substance-use professional
Summary
The Buncombe County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council appointed Nicole Stallings — a Buncombe County Elections employee and Via Health peer support specialist — to a vacant substance-use professional seat after members moved and seconded a voice vote.
The Buncombe County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council voted to appoint Nicole Stallings to its vacant substance‑use professional seat after she introduced her background and members moved to approve her nomination. Stallings told the council she has been a peer support specialist for about five years and works for Buncombe County Election Services while also providing peer support through Via Health.
Chair George Reitman and multiple council members praised Stallings’s experience and said the timing was appropriate with school starting soon. Blake McCoy moved to approve the appointment; the motion was seconded and the council approved the appointment by voice vote. Stallings said she appreciated the opportunity and that she looked forward to working with the JCPC on youth substance‑use issues.
The council discussed administrative details about the candidate’s concurrent public‑sector role and noted any required procedural checks given her work with county elections. Staff indicated they would follow up on any necessary documentation. Members said Stanton and other committees could immediately draw on her peer‑support expertise for substance‑use programming and outreach.
