McKinney, Texas—Jim Dempster toils daily as a senior accountant for Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS) of North Central Texas in McKinney.  He is the July recipient of the Golden Eagle Award for not only his amazing work ethic but for also being a warm and giving humanitarian.  Whenever anyone needs a pat on the back, a sympathetic ear, or even when digging into his pocket is called for, Jim is always there ready to help out.

Jim came to CCCS in April of 1994 after “retiring” from British Petroleum.  Not one to sit home and twiddle his thumbs, Jim was looking for a new challenge and found it at CCCS where he is responsible for accounts receivable and payable, posting deposits to clients accounts and all other aspects of keeping up with the money for clients and for the agency.

“I’m pleased and honored to accept this award from my peers, I enjoy working at CCCS, we’re all like family here; and I don’t turn my back on family when there is a need.”  Jim said.  “Besides, I can’t think of a better way to spend my days.”
