Congratulations to Nancy Kimble of the Lee County Board of Elections on her selection as Lee County's Employee of the Month for January 2009. Ms. Kimble has been employed with Lee County since 2003 and currently serves as Director of the Board of Elections. During her tenure, Ms. Kimble has earned a reputation for innovation and enthusiasm in her efforts to increase the professionalism and efficiency of the Board of Elections. Her vigilance in applying for grant monies and her management of the process to reduce the number of County polling places from 13 to 10 has resulted in substantial savings to the County's taxpayers. During the 2008 general election Lee County realized a 73% voter turnout which was in no small part the result of Ms. Kimble's leadership in the implementation of additional early voting sites. As stated in her nomination, "Nancy is truly an unsung hero in Lee County Government. She has assembled a very capable and professional staff and frequently works beyond her job description to ensure that Lee County has the best election procedures possible and that they are conducted without the appearance of impropriety." Ms. Kimble has 4 children and 9 grandchildren and enjoys needlepoint. Lee County is proud to recognize Nancy Kimble for her dedication to the citizens of Lee County.
