Harnett County Government is proud to announce that Assistant Register of Deeds Lorie Babb has been awarded the prestigious Charles Moore Award by the North Carolina Association of Register of Deeds (NCARD). This state-wide award is presented annually to one assistant or deputy register of deeds in recognition of outstanding service and leadership.

“I am incredibly honored and thankful to have received the Charles Moore Award,” said Babb in a press release. “It means so much to be recognized in this way. I am truly grateful.”

Babb began her career with Harnett County in 2007 as an administrative assistant and was promoted to assistant register of deeds in 2020. 

Babb was nominated by District V Chair, Kandance Bullock, register of deeds for Columbus County. In her nomination letter, Bullock praised Babb’s leadership stating she embodies the qualities recognized by the award.

“Her leadership and knowledge are unmatched. Lorie is the steady hand in the office, mentoring staff, improving operations and ensuring that the integrity of the records is never compromised,” said Bullock in her nomination letter.

Babb received the award during the recent North Carolina Association of Register of Deeds (NCARD) Annual Conference, where she was joined by Harnett County Register of Deeds, Matthew Willis.

“I could not be more proud of Lorie Babb for being honored with the Charles Moore Award,” said Willis in a press release. “Her dedication, professionalism, and servant-hearted leadership have made her an invaluable part of our office and of the Register of Deeds community across the state.”

With more than 700 assistants and deputies across NCARD’s eight districts, receiving this honor is a significant achievement.
