Kerr County names Putnam as new Grant Administrator

The Kerr County Commissioners’ Court announced that Noel Putnam, of Hunt, has been named as their new grant administrator. The position was recently created as a concerted effort to save and stretch county taxpayer dollars and help the county seek out additional funds.

Putnam will be responsible for orchestrating attempts to help identify and obtain supplemental funding sources that will assist local governmental agencies in their various services to citizens of Kerr County.

Putnam has served as the executive director of Kerr County United Way from 2010-2012 and is a current member of the Hunt Independent School District Board of Trustees. County officials say they welcome her experience in team leadership, strategic planning, project management and finance/bookkeeping.

Prior to the announcement of Putnam being hired, Rosa Lavender served as the interim grant administrator while the county performed its search.
