The Greenville Utilities Commission welcomes Minnie Johnson-Anderson to the Greenville Utilities Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Anderson was recently appointed by the Greenville City Council, beginning September 15, 2016.

"I am excited to share my talents, energy, and experience," said Commissioner Anderson, "in an effort to continue the goals and mission of this highly technical utility system that always works in the best interest of all GUC customers."

Commissioner Anderson was Chair of the Greenville Redevelopment Commission and helped with the revitalization of West and Uptown Greenville. She has also served on the Historic Preservation Commission and the Board of Adjustment.

Commissioner Anderson is a retired educator. She received her Bachelor of Science at Elizabeth City State University and her Master of Education from East Carolina University. A certified Principal and Educational Specialist, Commissioner Anderson taught at various levels.

Many in the community will know her as "Ms. Minnie" from her duties hosting WOOW radio's Speak Your Mind program. She also gives freely of her time to help those in need: in nursing homes, the Joy Soup Kitchen, the Winning with Diabetes Committee, and with various groups that help the homeless and young men.

Commissioner Anderson is a mother of two with one step-son and five grandchildren.
