JANET MOORE - CHAIRPERSON

Jean Hervey.  Hervey is from Plumerville. Hervey is a retired labor union organizer and is active in the Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church. Hervey was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1996 and 2000.  Hervey has been appointed to different boards by both Republican and Democratic governors for many years.

Hervey was quoted in a Bloomberg Business article about the 2012 Charlotte, Democratic National Convention NC Jean Hervey stared at rows and rows of Obama campaign buttons at the Charlotte Convention Center and couldn’t find the one she wanted — a button that would signal the support of black voters for the first African-American president. “You have buttons for everything from beach bums to bike riders, and they don’t have anything that says African-Americans for Obama,” said Hervey, who came from Plumerville, Arkansas. “They just don’t think.” A sales clerk went looking for a button that would meet Hervey’s request. She went on to say, “He’s got to dig for it,” said Hervey, who thinks Obama has been subject to “blatant racism” during his first term in office. “It’s a shame.” Hervey holds record for most missed board meetings and has even left meetings before votes were held.   Hervey was first appointed to the board by Gov. Beebe on January 20, 2010 and then re-appointed to the board by Gov. Beebe on January 25, 2013. Her current appointment expires on January 14, 2018.  I suspect she will be replaced by Gov. Hutchinson if he can find a black Republican.
