Yevonne Brannon, chairwoman of the Great Schools in Wake Coalition, was inducted last week into the YWCA of the Greater Triangle's 2011 Class of the Academy of Women.
Brannon was inducted in the government category, which the YWCA says is for civil service or public policy that enhances the quality of life for area residents. The bio from the YWCA says that "Yevonne courageously works for social justice in our community as chair of the WakeUP Wake County organization’s Great Schools in Wake coalition."
"She is considered the foremost spokesperson on the importance of diversity in relation to student assignment," according to the YWCA. "Great Schools in Wake has partnered on numerous initiatives with the YWCA to advocate for the constitutional rights of children across the county so that they, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, or residence, have the highest quality education possible. She has developed many of her closest friendships through her advocacy work."
Brannon was interviewed by NBC 17s "My Carolina Today" show about the recognition. She was asked to describe the role of WakeUP Wake County.
"WakeUP Wake County is a grassroots organization of citizens from all across Wake County that are very interested in making sure that we protect the high quality of life that we have in Wake County. We're interested in making sure we have the very best school system because we know it is so important to the economic vitality of our region, bringing jobs, bringing families."
