In coming to Greene County, she is leaving a position with the Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services, a state agency. Prior to that, she was a case manager in Boone, Dallas and Madison Counties.
Ritter has moved to Jefferson. “I’m excited to be back in Jefferson and to raise my family here,” she told the supervisors.
