Elkins, W.Va. — The two newest members of the Elkins Rehabilitation & Care Center and Mountain Memories Assisted Living & Retirement Center board of directors bring a wealth of experience to the organization’s governing body.
The organizations recently appointed Rebecca Judy and Raymond Godwin to the board of directors. The pair have a wide range of experiences and abilities that complement the organization’s board, said Tara Shaver, Administrator.
“Mrs. Judy and Mr. Godwin will bring their unique perspectives to our board of directors, and we are looking forward to their input,” she said.
“We are very happy to have these two new additions to our board,” said Wendy Wolford, Administrator at Mountain Memories. “They will bring their unique and valuable insights to our governing body.”
Mountain Memories Assisted Living & Retirement Center is an subsidiary of Elkins Rehabilitation & Care Center and the two organizations are governed by a single Board of Directors.
Judy is a local attorney in Randolph County. She has been an attorney for 15 years. She lives in Elkins with her husband Vincent Judy.
For the 15 years prior to becoming an attorney, she worked in the long-term care sector primarily as an administrator, a regional director and a consultant. Her professional focus is on supporting seniors and their families in healthcare and the legal setting.
Godwin is a familiar face at ERCC, having previously served on the board from 2017 until 2024. He is a native of Randolph County who now resides in Valley Bend. He is a graduate of Tygart’s Valley High School and Davis & Elkins College. He has worked in the hospitality industry, and he holds a real estate license. He has also taught aerobics classes at the Elkins YMCA for the past 40 years.
He serves on the boards for several local non-profit organizations. He is also part of the leadership in the local Catholic Church, having been ordained as a Roman Catholic Permanent Deacon in October 2004, serving the parishes of St. Brendan Church in Elkins, St. Patrick Church in Coalton, and St. Anne Church in Webster Springs. He is also an Ecumenical Delegate for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. This position includes service with the West Virginia Council of Churches.
“We think that both Rebecca and Raymond will greatly contribute to the board of directors,” Shaver said.
Both Judy and Godwin will serve four-year terms.
