Kay Honeycutt Draughn

As the former Clerk in Burke County, I believe Kay Draughn came to Burke County at just the right time. I was retiring and Kay was wanting to move to Burke County. She had all the right credentials and what a wonderful ten years it has been for our county! There are not enough words to describe the vitality and upgrades she has brought to the office of the Clerk since she arrived; but I will try. She was able to install more up-to-date equipment for the minutes which saved countless hours in the transcription process. Kay was educated with her CMC and also achieved the NCMCC designation. We immediately became friends. She was well liked by the Board, the Manager and all that worked with her because of her pleasant personality, gracious telephone manner and welcoming smile. When a problem presented itself, it went no further, Kay didn't past it on...she solved it. May I nominate this very deserving long-serving Clerk for the 2023 Circle of Excellence.
