Quimby Returns to Manage Lawrence County HR Post
Susan Quimby is returning to Lawrence County to serve as human resources director at a $40,000 salary, succeeding Allyson Williamson who will join the Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV. Williamson leaves her $31,488 county post to work from the former Almira Home offices. Quimby previously left for Mercer County Correctional Facility, where she earned about $6,000 more, and helped with labor negotiations for Lawrence County contracts. County leaders cite Quimby’s Mercer pay as a benchmark and note her master’s in HR and state training in job reclassification.
