About Us

Each Local Management Entity is governed by an area board. The area board is comprised of one county commissioner from each of the five CostalCare counties.  The Board of Commissioners from each CoastalCare county appoints the remaining representatives from each county to the area board. These remaining board members are citizens which must include representatives of various constituent and professional groups specified by statutes governing CoastalCare. As the governing body, the area board exercises the powers and duties conferred by the General Assembly. Area board members serve three year terms and are eligible for reappointment for an additional three-year term, with county commissioners' terms being concurrent with their terms as county commissioners. Members of the area board elect the area board's chairperson to a one-year term of office. (N.C. General Statute 122C-118.1--Structure of Area Board)

You may submit any comments, concerns or questions in written form to the Area Board Chair, Ms. Dorothy Childress, at 3809 Shipyard Blvd., Wilmington, NC 28403.
