Sherry MacQueen, VP for Legislation, is a Civil Engineer with a BSCE from NC State University (1981). She moved to North Carolina in 1971 with her husband and two young daughters. She has lived in Raleigh since. A proud feminist her entire life. One of her fondest memories is marching for passage of the ERA in 1972 when the North Carolina Legislature was voting for ratification. Although the ERA was not ratified then, being part of that movement was life changing. It forever imprinted that the ongoing fight for women’s rights and other civil rights is the pathway to forming the more perfect union that we all deserve.
Sherry was formerly Co-Chair of the NC LWV ERA League Action Team (LAT) responsible for organizing and supporting ERA LATs throughout NC. She was awarded the NC-LWV Leadership Award in 2019. She has been active with the ERA-NC Alliance since 2017, serving two terms on the Board of Directors. On the Legislative Committee, she led the Central Region ERA efforts. She received the Susan B. Anthony Award in recognition of her dedication to the vision of Equal Rights for Women. Currently, she is Acting Legislative Vice President and Co-Chair of the 2024 Candidate Survey and Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Committees.
