Norvie Meaney

Executive Assistant

I worked for the County of Orange for over 24 years and recently retired from County service in February 2026.  My last assignment, prior to my retirement, was at the Orange County Probation Department, as a Secretary III.  I was the Bureau Secretary reporting directly to the Chief Deputy of the Adult Operations Bureau for over eleven years.  I worked on many collaborative teams over the years updating our processes and automation enhancements, including the Automated Assignment Preference Form software application.  Outside of work, I love to cook and bake for family and friends. I have a big heart for animals, especially dogs, and have been a supporter of saving/protecting animals for some years now.

Liza Butler

Secretary

With over 28 years of dedicated service to the County of Orange, I deeply believe in the vital work we do for our community and the people who make that work possible. I began my County career in 1997 with the Public Defender’s Office as an Attorney Clerk, and later had the opportunity to serve in a payroll role within the department. I then transferred to CEO/HR, where I have continued to grow professionally while supporting County operations and employee services. I currently serve as an Assistant Recruitment Manager on the Satellite HR Team supporting the Health Care Agency, helping recruit, hire, and retain a strong workforce to serve Orange County residents.

Prior to my promotion into management, I was an active member of OCEA and served on the Board of Directors, chaired the Health and Welfare Trust, and participated on multiple negotiating teams and Political Action Committees. I also served as a Delegate for the Orange County Labor Federation, advocating in Sacramento for legislation benefiting working people and their families. Outside of work, my husband and I have proudly raised our children; our daughter is an artist and graphic designer, and our son is a recent graduate of Morehouse College. I am also currently finishing my undergraduate program in Public Administration, continuing my commitment to learning, leadership, and public service.

I remain committed to advocating for OCMA members through fairness, transparency, and the protection of member rights and benefits. I value the role unions play in strengthening our contracts, ensuring no takeaways, and promoting a culture of respect and professional excellence.

Stacey McCoy

Executive Director

I proudly served the County of Orange for over 29 years with the Orange County Probation Department prior to my retirement from County service in February 2025.  My last assignment with the department was as a Division Director/ Criminal Justice Deputy Director assigned to the department’s Special Supervision Division. I spent the last 20 years of my career with the Probation Department in Management and as a Member of OCMA.  In addition, I served three years on the OCMA Board of Directors as President prior to my retirement.  Throughout my career I worked many collaborative assignments with various departments within the County including the District Attorney’s Office, Sheriff’s Department, Public and Alternative Defender’s Office, Social Services, Health Care Agency and Orange County Public Works.  In addition to my work with Probation, I also helped start a non-profit for the Probation Department’s Baker to Vegas Running Team.  During my volunteer work with Baker to Vegas I designed the departments first Pink Patch as part of the Pink Patch Program to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness and established a sunshine fund to help staff in need.   

My desire to help others led me to accepting the role of Executive Director for OCMA in 2025. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.  My experience with the County has shown me that our managers are often not provided the support and resources they need to be successful in the office and at home. My goal is to advocate for our managers so that they the tools and resources needed to achieve their personal and professional goals while protecting their rights as employees.  

Outside of work, I spend most of my time tending to my backyard farm which is home to chickens and over 10 varieties of fruit trees.  I have been married to my husband for over 24 years and we own a small business inside Knotts Berry Farm.  We spend our weekends showcasing our classic cars, with my favorite being my 1970 Cuda in Moulin Rouge.

(Probation)

Treasurer

I have served on the Orange County Managers Association (OCMA) Board since 2025. I’ve worked for the Orange County Probation Department for 23 years and in a management role for the past two and a half years. Currently I am the Assistant Division Director of Special Supervision overseeing units involving domestic violence, sex offenders, gangs, K-9’s, Dispatch, GPS monitoring, and High Control. I am also a Peer Support member and a member of the Honor Guard for the Probation Department.

I am committed to the work I do that requires strong communication, critical thinking, empathy, and organization skills. These skills are crucial in building rapport and supporting individuals, which has helped solidify my passion for this career. Outside of work, I am a busy mom and wife of a business owner. I enjoy spending my free time at the lake, beach, or any body of water. I plan my life around my busy athletic fearless children who race dirt bikes, jump horses, or compete in college stunt.

As an OCMA Board member, I will extend that same commitment to the managers of this County advocating as an ambassador to seek improving employee benefits.
