Lorine Davis - Athena Award Winner
SMITHFIELD
(January 24, 2010) - The Chamber Athena Award is presented each year
to recognize the outstanding achievements of women in the
Smithfield-Selma community. A national award, it is presented in
over 300 communities and is sponsored locally by Corestaff Services.
The Chamber would like to thank Corestaff for their continued
sponsorship of this prestigious honor.
This year’s Athena Award will be
given to Lorine Davis, the executive director of Johnston County
Education Foundation.
Lorine has always had a passion for
seeing young people develop to their fullest. This passion was
demonstrated every day when she was a teacher and coach. To this
day, she stays in regular contact with the many successful adults
who began their learning experience in Lorine’s classroom.
|
The Johnston County Education, with
business, government and education leadership, was formed in 1990,
and Lorine served as the unpaid staff person for many years. With
undying commitment, Lorine has worked tirelessly to implement the
programs of the Foundation. At first it was a monumental struggle
as funds were scarce and the vision was new.
Lorine has also served on the
Johnston Health Foundation's Board since 2000 and has served as the
Board's secretary for a number of those years.
Lorine is involved with all of the
county’s chambers of commerce and has served on numerous
committees. She has been a huge supporter of the Flame for
Learning Award, the Johnston County Schools Teacher of the Year
Award that is sponsored by the Chambers. And she helped form and
acquired the funding for the Junior Leadership Johnston program
for high school students. Lorine is also involved at Centenary
United Methodist Church in Smithfield. Being musically inclined,
she helped reorganize the church’s handbell choir and directed the
choir for over a year.
Whenever difficult decisions are on
the table, Lorine always reminds everyone to “do what’s best for
the kids.” Her personal sacrifices during her personal career
development speak volumes about her passion for education and
children. Her greatest reward has been to see young people grow
and thrive. She is their unwavering advocate. Lorine exemplifies
what the Athena Award is all about, excellence in leadership.
