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.

Insider: Why do you work at MCC?

Lori: Because you make a difference here. You can make a difference in some people’s lives and not even know it. We change a lot of people’s lives.

Insider: What is your dream job?

Lori: When I retire, I want to volunteer to rock babies at Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Insider: What is the first thing you’d buy if you won the lottery?

Lori: A round-trip ticket for me and my husband to Australia.

Insider: What are three things you can’t leave your house without?

Lori: My cell phone, driver’s license and car keys.

Insider: What are your hobbies?

Lori: I sew, garden and sing in my church choir, which I really enjoy.
