In 1991, she was promoted to a social worker position in the Family Services division of Social Services and as the member of the team that provides adult protective services to the older and fragile adult population of Chatham County. Margaret has worked tirelessly to help those who have no one or cannot manage on their own and maintain state standards for care homes and advocate for those that need protection. Her reputation in the community is known and respected by human service agencies and law enforcement, and she has served in leadership roles in interagency and state level committees, and the North Carolina Adult Foster Care Association.
