BOLIVIA – Two days after firing agency director Patty Connelly, members of the Brunswick County Board of Social Services appointed Neil Walters as interim director.
Walters, who previously served as interim director for the agency in late 2010 and into early 2011 while longtime director Jamie Orrock was placed on leave and eventually fired, began his role as interim director September 4.
DSS board members unanimously voted to appoint Walters at an emergency meeting August 30.
According to Walters’ contract, he will serve as a temporary employee overseeing DSS for no more than 999 hours, which is about 25 weeks. Walters will earn $43.75 per hour, with a maximum of 40 hours each week.
