“I am honored and humbled to be recognized for my commitment to serve and to be of service in my role as a Nevada Commissioner,” said Minnick. “I owe my work ethic and discipline to my parents and siblings who taught me about the importance of doing your best and being your best. Also, my teachers and classmates at North Vermilion High School gave me the support and guidance that I needed to grow and develop into a future leader.
“I will always be grateful to my Abbeville community for giving me the courage and confidence to keep striving and thriving in my professional endeavors.”
During Kathleen’s second term as a Nevada Commissioner, she serves as the Co-Chair for Workforce Development and Housing subcommittees on behalf of the Commission on Minority Affairs.
