Comment on Mental Health Board seeking executive director, lawyer by @Pete.Stompf99@gmai
The Sangamon County Mental Health Board, still in its infancy, is seeking an executive director and lawyer to help guide the new organization.

The group’s third meeting, held July 22 in the Sangamon County Complex, had around two dozen people in attendance.
