The recognition committee at Nash Correctional Institution has chosen Leroy Grant as Employee of the Quarter. In a letter, Correctional Administrator Michael Bumgarner told Grant he was selected for several reasons, including his dedication to duty, punctuality, dependability and self-motivation, as well as his willingness to assist and support fellow staff members. Grant has been grounds supervisor at Nash for about two years. Prior to his current position, he was a correctional officer at Nash for eight years and at Odom Correctional Institution for 10 years. I believe you can accomplish anything as long as nobody cares who receives the credit.
Grant is married and has six grown children and seven grandchildren.
When he s not working, Grant is involved in a gospel group at his church. He plays the guitar, the harmonica and sings. More than 200 people turned out for the Division II Division of Community Corrections Employee Appreciation Day Oct. 27 at Moore s Creek Revolutionary War National Battleground Park. They were treated to all kinds of good food, fun and a history lesson. I not only invited Division II staff, but people from all departments.
