Kay Robinette <br />Department of Social Services <br />Retirement: 7-28-00 <br /> <br /> In every department you will have people who stand out; some for job <br />knowledge and skills, some for positive attitude and good teamwork, some <br />for excellent customer service and some who have all of these qualities. <br />Kay Robinette was that employee. Her contributions to Cabarms County in <br />her 25 years of service are outstanding. She produced her work accurately <br />and timely. She reviewed payments carefully to assure they were correct <br />and reimbursement was received. Often she initiated new and improved <br />methods that the state put into practice. The State Division of Social <br />Services recognized her as an expert in developing and implementing <br />procedures in the child foster care program. <br /> <br /> Kay began her work with Cabarrus Depat-hnent of Social Services on <br />November 1, 1975. For the next twenty years she worked in eligibility <br />intake and processing applications for families and children. In 1996 she <br />moved from that position to the Child Welfare Division. She loved helping <br />children and in this position she did all of the Medicaid applications and <br />foster care payments for children who came into the Department's custody. <br />She also handled the agency adoption assistance program. Each year she <br />would touch the lives of OVer 200 special needs children through her work. <br /> <br /> Not only did she excel in her job ~luties, she volunteered to serve on <br /> agency committees to enhance our working environment. Her positive <br /> attitude was contagious and she never hesitated to bring problems to the <br /> attention of the administration but always in a positive manner. Her <br /> professionalism was constant. Her dedication to her work was exemplary. <br /> <br /> She will be greatly missed but we wish her well in her retirement. <br /> <br /> <br />
