Yvette Townsend-Ingram
At-Large · Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners
Yvette Townsend-Ingram serves as an at-large member of the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners. Chair Jerrell described her as “an unwavering champion for behavioral health services, along with workforce and business development.”
Townsend-Ingram’s policy priorities align with the county’s behavioral health and workforce investments. The county created a new Assistant County Manager for Workforce Development position, provided direct assistance to more than 1,300 residents, and enrolled 1,600 clients in integrated workforce programs during the current budget cycle.
Her behavioral health focus connects to the county’s broader human services portfolio: the $64.5 million Community Resource Center, SNAP Double Bucks supporting 1,000 households, and the Healthy Corner Store Initiative that served 1,000 residents in its first two months.
