Monday, October 26, 2026, Matthew S. Willis, Harnett County Register of Deeds and outgoing Chair of Leadership Harnett, passed the gavel to Sheveil Harmon, who will serve as Chair for 2027.

Leadership Harnett began in 1997 with a vision of bringing people from across Harnett County together and introducing them to the many facets of our community. Former Harnett County Manager Neil Emory had seen a similar program in a county he previously worked for and recognized the benefits such a program could bring to Harnett County.

Matt's journey with Leadership Harnett began as a class participant in 2012. In 2013, he joined the board and has served in several leadership roles, including Secretary, 2nd Vice Chair, 1st Vice Chair and Chair.

During his time as Chair, Matt shared these meaningful words: "When we give our time, energy, and talents back to this community, Harnett County becomes more than where we live or work. It becomes home."

Leadership Harnett is incredibly grateful for Matt's dedication, leadership, and servant's heart throughout his years of service. His commitment to further developing leaders and strengthening our community has made a lasting impact.

Although his term as Chair has concluded, Matt will continue serving on the board as Immediate Past Chair for the coming year.

Matt is truly appreciated for his years of service and for all he will continue to do for Leadership Harnett and Harnett County!

🇺🇸 THANK-A-VET PROGRAM 🇺🇸

The Harnett County Register of Deeds is proud to honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans through our Thank-A-Vet Program!

Through this program, veterans can receive a Thank-A-Vet photo ID card that can be presented at participating Harnett County businesses to receive special discounts and offers. It is our way of saying “Thank you for your service!” ❤️🤍💙

🎖️ How to Get Your Thank-A-Vet ID Card

• Veterans must have their original DD-214 recorded in the Harnett County Register of Deeds Office before receiving a photo ID card.
• If your DD-214 has already been recorded in our office, we will verify the record before issuing your card.
• Veterans must also present a valid government-issued photo ID, such as an NC driver’s license or U.S. passport.
• Once your DD-214 has been recorded, you will be eligible to receive your Thank-A-Vet photo ID card.
• Spouses and children are not eligible for a Thank-A-Vet ID card.
• Veterans who live outside Harnett County may participate but must record their DD-214 in our office. Most participating businesses are located in Harnett County.

🌟Citizen Spotlight: Larry and Kim Mitchell🌟

The Harnett County Register of Deeds Office had the pleasure of assisting Harnett County residents Larry and Kim Mitchell with their passport applications.

Larry and Kim are wonderful examples of citizens who make a positive difference in our community through their service and involvement. Larry is a proud veteran who continues to serve others through his volunteer work at the Harnett County Resource Center and Library. He has also dedicated countless hours to litter cleanup efforts along Harnett County roadways, helping keep our community clean and beautiful for everyone.

In addition, Larry is also actively involved with the Lexington Plantation Neighborhood Watch, working alongside neighbors to promote safety and community engagement. He is also a familiar face at Harnett County Board of Commissioners meetings, where he regularly participates in public comment sessions and provides thoughtful input on issues affecting our county.

We appreciate Larry and Kim for their commitment to making Harnett County a better place to live, work, and raise a family. Thank you both for your continued dedication to our community.
