Ted Meyer from Thorp, a long-time member of the Community Services Board, has retired after 27 years of service.
 
Ted began his service to Clark County and the Health Care Center on April 21, 1983, as a member of the Clark County Health Care Center Board of Trustees.  Ted was very involved in Farm Technology (Progress) Days held at the Health Care Center in July 1983.  He was also very involved in a major remodeling project going on at the Health Care Center from 1982 to 1984.
 
On November 12, 1985, the Clark County Board approved the merger of the Health Care Center Board of Trustees with the Clark County Unified Board and created the Community Services Board.  Ted was one of the original members of the newly formed Community Services Board, which had oversight of the health Care Center, Community Services, and ADS.  He was also appointed to the Health Care Center Subcommittee of the Community Services Board at this time.
 
Ted served as a member of the Health Care Center Subcommittee until May 12, 1998, when the Subcommittee was reorganized to include only County Board members.  He has continued to remain an active member of the Community Services Board until now.
 
Ted has been an outstanding board member over the years, rarely missing a meeting in over 27 years of service.  He has always been willing to express his opinion on board issues and help shape policies and direction of the organization.
 
Ted’s contribution to Clark County, the Health Care Center and Community Services Board has been greatly appreciated and will be truly missed.
