It
is with sincere respect and many many thanks that
KSAIW dedicate our December’s Thoroughbred spotlight
to a person that we have never met face to face but
has done so very much for us (Kentucky) and several
of our sister associations……..
Beth Roy is such a terrific, kind and generous woman.
She has spent her life helping and taking care of
other people. She does most of this without any expectations
of praise or recognition. And, she does it willingly
and with a giving spirit.

Beth
attended Jackson College of Ministries in the 80's, where she
met her husband, Greg. They spent the first few years of their
life together in Greg's hometown in Arkansas. While in Arkansas,
Beth worked at a Pediatrician's office and volunteered for their
church. Not wanting to be so far away from her family, they
decided to make a move back to her hometown, Cincinnati, OH.
They moved back totally on faith. They trusted that God would
provide. And, He did.
Greg
worked two jobs and finally got a position with his current
employer, Hubert Company. Beth took a position as a Personal
Lines Rater at The Cincinnati Insurance Companies. Being such
a great worker, she quickly took a more challenging position
within the Personal Lines Department. And, it wasn't long before
she was awarded with a top honor in the company, the ABC award.
Beth received this award in recognition of her devotion to the
company and her great attitude in performing her job duties.
She was also recognized for going "Above and Beyond"
for her department. It wasn't long before Beth was recommended
for one of the top Administrative Assistant positions in the
company. And, while Beth did not necessarily have secretarial
experience, her new boss hired her for her ability to manage
and coordinate many tasks, as well as being able to organize.
Besides, he saw something in her that he knew he wanted his
department to project...a willing spirit and great service to
others.
Beth
was an excellent addition to the company's Sales & Marketing
Department. While working her way up in the company, Beth continued
to serve her community by volunteering at her church. She felt
called to work with the children of her congregation and coordinated
events, such as Vacation Bible School, as well as teaching Sunday
School and leading Kids Church. She also helped develop the
church's Kids Choir.
Beth
was an asset to her employer and to her church, but she longed
to be more involved in her own family. After much prayer and
a whole lot of faith, she finally quit her job in order to stay
home with her daughters. You see, Beth, as good as she was in
her career, always just wanted to be a mom. Her dream was finally
realized after the birth of her second daughter. She would no
longer be coordinating and organizing for a company. She would
be doing this for her home and family.
As
her children grew older, she and her husband started trying
to think of ways that Beth could earn some income for their
family without having to re-enter the corporate world. That
is where The Quatre Group started. Greg handles a lot of the
software development areas of their company and Beth works on
the website development and maintenance services. Already having
a background in insurance and helping her sister, Connie, to
develop a website for Miami Valley Insurance Women, she decided
to market her services to other insurance women's groups. She
felt this was a great niche market. And, while she doesn't receive
much income from this segment, she views working with these
groups as another area where she can "give back" and
provide service to others. She does have some other commercial
accounts that she services, but she really enjoys working with
the non-profit groups.
Beth
continues to serve others in all areas of her life. She and
her husband are now Children's Ministers for their church. She
volunteers at both of her children's schools. She also provides
in home child care for her nieces. She continues to spend her
time giving to, helping and serving others.
Thank
you Beth and may God always walk beside you so that so many
people will receive the many blessings and benefits from knowing
you.
