Vicki Hon has recently joined Clay County Senior Services as Operations Administrator and Program Support. She has over 25 years of experience working with older adults in both long term care settings and in a community center environment. For the past 13 years, she managed the Palmer Center of Independence, MO.  Under Vicki's leadership the center was accredited through the National Council on Aging.  Her experience in managing a para-transit and senior transportation program, extensive travel program, volunteer management, and overseeing a nutrition site serving both congregate and home delivered meals has helped her develop a wide array of skills to contribute to CCSS.
