LEWISTON — Tim Verrill, network services and facilities manager at SeniorsPlus, will be the Rotary Club of Lewiston-Auburn’s guest speaker from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19, at the Ramada Inn, 490 Pleasant St.
Verrill has been a Rotarian since 2014. Introduced to computers by his older brother, he started programming as a teenager in high school, submitting games to Compute magazine for extra income, eventually creating an animal-judging program for the University of New Hampshire.
His first major job was at Watts FluidAir in Kittery, where he learned the business until he became production planner. Discovering much was done by hand, he computerized the department, which significantly increased efficiencies and reduced manpower.
Moving on to work with the Maine Technical College System, he was instrumental in bringing the internet to the college system, linking all of the business offices together on a wide area network and supporting the needs of seven colleges across the state. For the next 17 years, he worked with Evergreen Insurance in Lewiston as information systems manager to advance the technology environment, bringing their systems up to date and running flawlessly.
Now at SeniorsPlus, he oversees a department of four skilled professionals, advancing technology and working hard to ensure that the staff of 130 people always have the resources they need to perform their jobs.
The public is invited to attend. Reservations are not required.
