She was escorted by her mother, Ms. Jacque- line Janine Rochford, and was presented by her husband, Mr. John Michael Delany. In 1978, the Cleveland County Board of Com- missioners established the county's Commis- sion for Women, charg- ing it with identifying and responding to the needs of all citizens of Cleve- land County, with the greatest emphasis being on the needs of area women. T h e C o m m i s s i o n for Women was instru- mental in establishing the Cleveland County Abuse Prevention Shel- ter for women in crisis situations. Working in conjunction with NC Eq- uity (now NC Women United), the Commission participates in a Bi-yearly Legislative Agenda where county women are given the opportu- nity to present their con- cerns regarding women 's issues. Results of the Legislative Agenda are compiled by NC Eq- uity (now NC Women United) and forwarded to state legislators. The commission, in 1991, surveyed the status and needs of county women, sharing the results with county officials. Since its origin, the commission has rec- ognized the contribu- tions of county women through special events and workshops held during Women 's His- tory Month. In 1992, the commission decided to host an A n n u a l b a n q u e t recognizing the ac- complishments and contributions of "distin- guished" women. The Commission decided in 2009 to reactivate the Miss Cleveland County Fair Pageant. The Cleveland County Commission for Women strives to discuss and communicate the needs of county residents re- gardless of ethnicity or gender.
