Andrew Boozer
Andrew Boozer has been named Executive Director of Senior Resources. He will begin in the position August 1, replacing Pam Dukes, who is retiring after more than six years at the agency. Boozer comes to Senior Resources from Epworth Children’s Home, where he has been Vice President of Development and Communications since 2013.
"Senior Resources is about more than just supplying food, helping at home, and promoting active living. We strive to give older adults fulfilling and vibrant lives. Our work provides opportunities for resources and relationships to grow and continue to create a community that honors and serves our neighbors,” Boozer said. “I am excited to be a part of the Senior Resources team and look forward to joining in the delivery of high-quality services in our community."
Prior to coming to Epworth Children’s Home, Boozer worked as director of communications and the Enrollment Services Center at Lenoir-Rhyne University/Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, as a customer service representative at FB Johnson Graphics, and as the expo coordinator for the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce.
“Andrew has life-long connections to the Midlands and a successful track record for non-profit development work,” said Board of Directors President Todd Timmons. “We’re excited to have him join our team and we’re looking forward to continuing our work to serve the seniors of Richland County under his leadership.”
Boozer, a Clemson graduate, and his wife Lindsay have two sons and a baby daughter due this summer. The family, with their golden retriever Lady, enjoys being outdoors, especially on camping trips to South Carolina state parks.
