Betty Jane Narver

Betty Jane Narver, long-time member of the National Civic League’s Board of Directors and special part of the NCL family, passed away on Sunday, December 9, 2001. Betty Jane was also the chair of the Model City Charter Revision Project and had just led the second meeting of the revision committee in Atlanta on the preceding Friday. The manner in which Betty Jane ran that last meeting validated why she was originally selected to lead the revision process. She was knowledgeable about city charters and most importantly, a skilled consensus builder who ensured an even playing field for every participant, regardless of their perspective. Her sudden passing comes as a shock to everyone who knew her.

Betty Jane Narver will be remembered as a caring board member who always stepped up whenever we needed someone to do so. Most of all, she was a dedicated friend and a person whom we will dearly miss.
