The 24th annual Older Worker of Missouri contest began collecting nominations in May of this year to recognize older Americans for their contributions.  This year there were 10 winners from across Missouri.  MERS Goodwill coordinated the contest in the St. Louis Area and St. Charles, Jefferson and Franklin counties.

Bill has been the Director of the City's Department of Human Services since 2001.  He is our resident expert on social service programs in St. Louis and is especially known for his deep engagement in addressing the needs of homeless people in St. Louis.

Throughout his career, Bill has shown outstanding problem solving skills when it comes to issues in the St. Louis community, and he currently serves on more than 30 boards and committees at both the local and state levels.
