Kay Metzger, Director, Senior & Disabled Services, works with consumer advocates, community partners, elected officials, and other stakeholders to promote quality services to seniors and people with disabilities. Kay began her career at LCOG as a volunteer, assisting with financial eligibility. In August 1990 she was hired as a case manager, initially carrying a case load of senior clients residing in a rural area. She moved to supervision in 1994 and was project manager for several new services/programs such as the Oregon Health Plan, the transition from paper

Food Stamp coupons to an electronic debit card, and the implementation of a statewide client data base called Oregon ACCESS. Kay also coordinated the opening of two new branch offices, the Cottage Grove Branch and the Springfield Branch (which, due to budget reductions, was closed in 2003). In 2002 Kay was promoted to Program Manager and in 2006 she accepted the position of S&DS Director. Kay has been a member of the LCOG staff since 1990. She holds a BA in Psychology from Biola University.  email
