Bobby McKinney’s Service Pays Debt to Albany, Dougherty County
Monday, August 17th, 2015
While many of his contemporaries are abandoning Southwest Georgia — for retirement getaways, to be with family, or in frustration brought about by abrupt change — Robert F. “Bobby” McKinney remains steadfast in his support of the community that he says “made me everything I am today.”
At 70, McKinney, the current chairman of the Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Dougherty County Board of Registration and Elections, has the energy of a man half his age. And he devotes much of that energy to working — both openly and behind the scenes — to improve the community that’s been home for 60 of his 70 years.
