BACKGROUND:
Since 1963, North Carolina Governors have reserved their highest honor, The Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, for persons who have made significant contributions to the state and their communities through their exemplary service and exceptional accomplishments. Persons named to The Order become North Carolina “Ambassadors” with their names and award dates recorded on a Roster maintained be The Order of the Long Leaf Pine Society. Among the honors and awards the Governor of North Carolina can bestow, none is more valued than The Order of the Long Leaf Pine.
On April 1, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper recognized Lillian Plummer as “Ambassador Extraordinary” and confirmed her induction to The Order of the Long Leaf Pine for her proven record of service to the State of North Carolina and the Guilford County community over her 40-year career with the City of Greensboro and the Guilford County Workforce Development Board.
