New Health Director lacks proper credentials

Repeat of  earlier article with updated details. Register Star’s Boone County Weekly added the state mandated qualification for public heath administrator.  Plus details a special closed door meeting by the Board of Heath regarding personnel which was cancelled.

Look very close at the second “diamond” on the state qualifications.  I am beginning to be less critical of the county on this one.  Is an MBA “a graduate degree in a related field”?  Or perhaps the problem is “years of full time administrative experience in public health”?  Of course there still is this question:  Does the employment contract between Ms. Seaworth and Boone County Health speak of the required certification/credentials?  What do you think?
