Discussion:
The Director of the Human Services Department oversees the department and reports to the County Administrator. Human Services provides critical services that support, protect, and ensure the well-being for vulnerable children, adults and families. The Director oversees four divisions, which determine eligibility and deliver human services in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Human Services is the County’s largest department with 911 positions and an operating budget of approximately $351.4 million
Upon the announcement of the Director of Human Services’ retirement, Human Resources conducted an extensive nationwide recruitment. Candidates were invited to interview with a diverse group consisting of subject matter experts, community stakeholders, and County department heads, and also the Board of Supervisors. At the conclusion of the process, the County Administrator selected Angela Struckmann as the next Director of Human Services. Angela Struckmann has twenty-four years of experience providing social and safety net services to those in need. Ms. Struckmann has a broad knowledge of the Department of Human Services having worked in many functional areas of human/social services throughout her career. She has served on multiple committees in collaboration with county, regional and state partners including Mental Health Services Act Steering Committee and Home Sonoma County. More recently, Ms. Struckmann has served as the Assistant Director of Human Services for the County of Sonoma since 2018. Prior experience includes program and division level management of adult and aging services, public assistance, employment development, and supportive housing for Solano and Marin Counties. Ms. Struckmann has a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin, and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of San Francisco.
