In 2022, the Westmoreland County commissioners hired their first human services director. The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County helped fund the search, which resulted in Rob Hamilton taking the job of coordinating human services in this large southwestern Pennsylvania county. Hamilton is a former Lower Burrell councilman and the former executive director of Veterans Place of Washington Boulevard. Pittsburgh-based writer and professor Ervin Dyer recently sat down for a conversation with Hamilton.
