After 24 years of service, Yvette Davis retired from the Granville County Department of Social Services (DSS) as of Feb. 28, 2019. She was recognized by the Granville County Board of Commissioners at the March 18 meeting at the Expo and Convention Center.
With her start in the Work First Program as a Social Worker II, Davis had worked with DSS since February of 1995. In 1998 she was promoted to Social Worker III in the Child Protective Services (CPS) unit, transitioning to Child Welfare Foster Care in 1999. There she made an impression on administrators with her thoroughness, adherence to Child Welfare policies and dedication to her assigned clients and their families.
In May of 2006, Davis was promoted to an Investigator, Assessment and Treatment Social Worker within the Child Protection Services unit. She continued her strong attachment to working with dysfunctional families and broadened her expertise of working with families by helping willing families become foster parents.
While conducting child abuse/neglect/dependency investigations, testifying in court and spending numerous off-duty hours on “on call” assignments, Davis was able to obtain a Master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in General Psychology.
She was recognized for her service at the March 18 meeting by Commissioners Tony Cozart and Sue Hinman, who recognized her efforts on behalf of the Board and presented her with a plaque for her dedicated service to Granville County.
Congratulations, Yvette!
