Flagler Business Women has selected Flagler Beach Commissioner Kim Carney for its 2013 Business Woman of the Year award.
The organization, which is dedicated to helping local women reach their professional potential, selected Carney in part because of her volunteerism, according to a statement on its Facebook page.
“I joined Rotary, and things just blossomed from there,” she said. My background is in fund development and raising money, and here, I get to do things with it in the community. Most of the money goes to education.”
Carney, 57, is the facility manager at Eagles Nest Storage. She is club treasurer and president-elect of the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach, a governing board member of the Flagler Auditorium, president of the Idlewood Club, event director for Cycle Flagler and Race of the Runways and a new member of the Friends of A1A Board of Directors.
“I might be one that does a lot, but I can’t do it without the people behind me,” she said. “I surround myself with people and organizations that do make a difference.”
Carney has an MBA from Western New England University and a bachelor’s degree in medical technology from Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts, and worked in clinical laboratories in Maryland and Delaware before moving to Flagler Beach with her husband, Jim Carney, in 2000.
Carney was recognized by the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners in a proclamation at a regular commission meeting Oct. 21 and by the Flagler Business Women at an Oct. 21 ceremony at the Hilton Inn in Palm Coast.
