A history of trouble at the Uinta Senior Center

The Uinta Senior Center has a history of problems with leadership and once again is experiencing a crisis situation. In early November, some of the staff at the center reached out to the Herald seeking someone who would listen to their frustration and fears.

The senior center’s executive director, Aimee Ottley, left Evanston on Feb. 28 and is residing full-time in Casper as of March 1. Due to the lack of an actual director in the office and a non-working board of directors the staff at the Senior Center are frustrated, concerned and feel they have no one to turn to. Multiple interviews with staff revealed that more often than not, phone calls, texts, and emails to Ottley or to board chair Casey Davis, whom Ottley had told them to call if she were unavailable, were not responded to immediately, if at all.
