I'm Wendy Turner
I've been a social worker for over thirty years. I bring the values and skills of my profession into the political realm as I seek to serve as German Township Trustee.
As Trustee, I will create an online presence, informing the public of the resources the Trustee's office provides.
Seeking help will be easier, as information will be available online at all times, from the privacy of your own home. Those needing assistance will be met with compassion and respect as we help them navigate a difficult time.
I was born in a rural county in central Indiana, the youngest of five children. I grew up on a farm, where I learned the value of hard work and being a good neighbor. Serving as your trustee would give me the opportunity to demonstrate both.
Bio
I graduated from Rushville Consolidated High School in Rush County, Indiana, and then earned a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Degree from Valparaiso University. I then earned both my Masters of Social Work (MSW) and a PhD in Social Work from the Ohio State University. I worked as an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Spalding University in Louisville, KY before moving to Evansville in 2003 to teach at the University of Southern Indiana.
I have an adult daughter, Lily, and a dog, Bernie. When I'm not serving my local community, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, creating art, gardening and traveling the world.
