In 1957, the North Carolina General Assembly created the Department of Administration to consolidate various state agencies and programs. The department was placed under the care of a director appointed by the governor. In 1971, the assembly passed the Executive Organization Act which classified the department as one of 19 principle departments of state government and classified its leader as a secretary.[4]
NCDOA houses miscellaneous state government programs. NCDOA is overseeing the state's motor fleet Zero Emissions Vehicle initiative, established by Governor Roy Cooper in 2019.[5] The department publishes breakdowns of state spending, reporting statistics such as per-pupil educational spending.[6] NCDOA administers public relations for state government, promoting the administration awareness campaigns, such as WalksmartNC pedestrian initiative and the campaign promoting participation in the U.S. census.[7][8] In 2019, Secretary Machelle Sanders launched the Lady Cardinal Mentorship Program, a summer program that connects female high school students with women in STEM careers in state government.[9]
