A proud moment for Guilford County at the 119th North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Annual Conference, held August 20–22 at the Durham Convention Center in Durham, NC. During Saturday evening’s President’s Banquet, At-Large Commissioner Kay Cashion was inducted into the NCACC Hall of Fame, one of the Association’s highest honors recognizing distinguished leadership and service to county government.
Commissioner Cashion was recognized before county leaders from across North Carolina for a record of public service that reaches well beyond Guilford County. Since joining the Board of Commissioners in 2004, she has served in numerous leadership roles with NCACC and the National Association of Counties, building relationships and advocating for issues important to counties and the people they serve. Here at home, her commitment to collaboration and public safety can be seen in initiatives such as the Guilford County Family Justice Center, which she played a pivotal role in helping establish.
Commissioner Cashion was joined in Durham by Chairman Melvin “Skip” Alston, Vice Chair J. Carlvena Foster, District 3 Commissioner Pat Tillman, District 5 Commissioner Carly Cooke, District 6 Commissioner Brandon Gray-Hill, Guilford County Manager Victor Isler, Deputy County Manager Toy Beeninga, family, close friends and others. The conference brought county leaders from across the state together for three days of learning, networking and conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing North Carolina’s communities.
Please join us in congratulating NCACC Hall of Fame Inductee Kay Cashion on this well-deserved recognition. Her induction honors years of service, leadership and a commitment to making a difference in Guilford County and communities across North Carolina. Congratulations, Commissioner Cashion!
