Sharon White wins Ambassador Award
Office of Vocational Rehabilitation
administrative assistant Sharon D. White was one of only
six Kentucky public employees to receive an award
during the 2011 Governor’s Ambassador Awards ceremony
Oct. 6 in Frankfort.
White received the Leadership award
from First Lady Jane Beshear for her advocacy for deaf
and hard of hearing Kentuckians. As a direct result of
her efforts, about 75 deaf African-American students who
were denied diplomas from 1930 – 1955 at the Kentucky
School for the Deaf were identified as eligible for
diplomas and a graduation ceremony was held for them in
August 2011 in Danville.
White, who was described in the
nomination application as a dynamic leader, is president
of the Kentucky Association of the Deaf, commissioner of
the Kentucky Commission for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing, and secretary of the National Black Deaf
Advocates Inc. She has been with the cabinet since 2002.
In addition to White, Janis Friend
and Linda Irvin, both with OVR, were nominated for the
Customer Service award, and Wayne Onkst with KDLA was
nominated for the Leadership award. |
