The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners and Local Government Federal Credit Union presented ten awards at the 2021 LGFCU Excellence in Innovation Awards. The Excellence in Innovation program received fifty applications this year. Among the winners was Cumberland County for their paternity testing schedule. James McQueen, Nicole Wright, Sharon White, Cynthia McKinley and Tonia Thomas made up the team. With the new process for paternity testing that they implemented, the group reduced the amount of time Cumberland County spends on paternity testing from approximately 20 hours per month to 3.5 hours per month. The testing laboratory confirmed that, because of the project, Cumberland County Child Support collected more DNA testing for paternity samples than any other North Carolina county from March 1 to May 17, 2021.
