AC Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Lori Palmer, program specialist for instructional support, for being selected as the AC Employee of the Month.

Lori was nominated by several co-workers because of the time she spends volunteering for many of the committees created to organize events and do fundraising at the AC.

“She is always there putting to use her organizational skills,” said one nominator. “She is involved with every bake sale, book sale and holiday party every year. We wouldn’t get anything done without her.”

Lori began her 17 year career with MCC as a business office assistant at the Independence campus. In 2003, she worked in the Longview PACE office for Jane Zeitner, until moving to the AC in 2006 in her current position.
