After 39 years of distinguished and dedicated service, Nancy Jameson has retired from the Western Illinois Regional Council-Community Action Agency (WIRC-CAA) Board of Directors. She was honored with a plaque on June 29 by WIRC & CAA Executive Director Tracy Camden and longtime WIRC Administrative Assistant Rose Elam.
Jameson has served in multiple roles on the Board since 1982. In 1982 and 1998, she served as First Vice Chair representing Hancock County. From 1990 through 1992, Jameson had the honor of serving as Chair for the Board. She attended more than 155 meetings over the years, and is the longest term serving Board member to date in the Agency’s history. In 2011, when she became the Everly House Director, she represented McDonough County on the Board.
“Nancy was a steadfast member of the WIRC-CAA Board, as she rarely missed a meeting,” said Camden. “She really cares about the Agency and I could always count on her to ask questions at Board meetings. I appreciated her asking questions because that helped make us better. I thank Nancy for her commitment and for all the guidance she provided to the Agency over the years.”
