Cambridge Who's Who Honors Margaret E. Turner
Margaret E. Turner became a pioneer in the agricultural industry as the first female licensed grain inspector
CHESAPEAKE, VA, May 25, 2010 /Agriculture PR News/ -- Margaret E. Turner, former Office Manager of Grain Marketing Services for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for demonstrating dedication, leadership and excellence in agricultural administration.
Margaret E. Turner, affectionately referred to by many as 'Betty,' is a retired office manager for the state of Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. During her 34-year tenure with the department, she became a pioneer in the agricultural industry as the first female licensed grain inspector. As such, her primary responsibilities included managing office operations and inspecting export grain quality for certification purposes. One of the most challenging points in her career occurred during the 1970s when a massive fraud scandal caused the federal government to audit all exporting businesses and request documents to verify honorable accounting practices. Ms. Turner worked in conjunction with undercover agents to produce documents for the general accounting office, which maintained her department's integrity and reputation. After retiring, Ms. Turner continued to work part-time with the department, assisting with advancements in grain packaging with containers and training new employees on inspection techniques.
With a background in secretarial and administrative work, Ms. Turner has demonstrated a steadfast dedication to accuracy and efficiency, as reflected by her motto "Check and recheck." She is distinguished by her expertise in accounting and her ability to handle a fast-paced work environment in a male-dominated industry.
Currently, Ms. Turner dedicates her time to various community service efforts, particularly a local battered women and children's homeless shelter through the Norview Ladies' Alumni Association. Though she recently underwent chemotherapy treatments, Ms. Turner is a survivor determined not to let cancer defeat her. She served as a committee chairwoman for the Business and Professional Women's Foundation and was a charter member of the Pilot Club of Chesapeake. Ms. Turner was chosen to be featured in "Cambridge Publishing's Top 101 Industry Experts" in 2009. This publication highlights the professional and personal accomplishments of its most esteemed members.
