Washtenaw County is expected to hire its first Director of Aging Services during tonight’s Board of Commissioners meeting.
Shannon Effler comes to Washtenaw County from Indiana University’s School of Medicine where she’s director of geriatric programs. Over 70 candidates applied for the position.
Commissioner Jason Maciejeski, who was on the hiring committee, says Effler will be a great addition to the county.
“Delivering those kinds of services in an effective way with a really strong network of providers, how that can impact older adults and how older adults are engaging in the communities.”
Effler’s experience, knowledge and education led the County Administration to offer her a salary above the midpoint of the position grade. She’ll be paid $155,000 a year and is expected to begin in early 2026.
