Forsyth County has named an individual with 14 years of professional experience in the field of aging as the new director of the Senior Services Department.
Ruthie Brew joins Forsyth next week to oversee three senior services centers and their operations, activities and programs “with the goal of maintaining or extending the independence of life and improving the quality of life for seniors in the community,” according to a county announcement.
Brew most recently was manager of the Mallinckrodt Active Adult Center in Wilmette, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. She has a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and a master’s of management degree in nonprofit administration from North Park University, Chicago.
“We are pleased that Ruthie will be joining the county staff,” said Deputy County Manager Tim Merritt. “The senior center management experience she brings to the position, along with her enthusiasm for assisting others in the pursuit of aging well, will certainly be a benefit to our already outstanding Senior Services offerings.”
