Elizabeth Byrum was hired by Put NC First on Nov. 20, 2023, offering her services to MRNC under a similar contract where 100% of her time is dedicated to MRNC. While Put NC First was the employer of record for Ian Shannon and Elizabeth Byrum under these contracts, MRNC's Board, by-laws, and organizational policies are its own and MRNC directed their activities independent of Put NC First.
