Hazel Mack chose a life’s profession that would allow her to be in service to the poor. A graduate of Temple University’s School of Law in 1980, she worked for Legal Aid of North Carolina (LAN) as regional managing attorney and project director of the Home Defense Project until her recent retirement. Her work has positively affected the lives of many in the community, including Tracy Nicholson, a paralegal at LAN, who says, “Hazel Mack has been my mentor, confidant, and friend. She is one of the most intelligent people I know and truly understands the human condition.”
In her free time, Mack enjoys volunteering and serving on the board at Carter G. Woodson School, a charter school she and other concerned parents founded in 1996. She is also a proud member of Dellabrook Presbyterian Church.
