|
|
and their families, promoting women leaders, and establishing |
|
|
strong role models for the next generation of South Plains women, |
|
|
and all of these goals have been furthered by the contributions of |
|
|
Kay Cross during her tenure as finance director; joining the YWCA in |
|
|
1986, when the agency was operating with 15 employees on a $300,000 |

|
more than 250 employees and a budget of $5 million; and |
|

|
|
that support the YWCA, tracking spending and reporting on the |
|
|
activities of 14 initiatives, including those that serve children |
|
|
with special needs and with emotional and behavioral challenges and |
|
|
those that promote women's health; going above and beyond her |
|
|
financial duties, she also maintains positive relationships with |
|
|
staff, customers, vendors, and community volunteers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Known for her humility, dedication, and strong work |
|
|
ethic, Ms. Cross consistently meets challenges with a smile and a |
|
|
can-do attitude, and she inspires others with her warmth and sense |
|
|
of caring; she stands at the forefront of those individuals who are |
|
|
making a difference in their communities, and she is indeed |
|
|
deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
