Charles Curry
Charles Curry joined the Family Eldercare Board in November 2023. A native of small town Arkansas, Charles graduated with a BSBA from the University of Arkansas before completing his MPA from the University of Kansas. His service in the US Navy included a tour of duty as the Communications Officer aboard the USS Austin (LPD-4) which has since been decommissioned. Following his naval service Charles began a thirty-year career in Texas city government with a position as Finance Director for the City of Orange, going on to become the City Manager there before taking a position heading up Austin’s Budget Office for over a decade. After leaving city government Charles began a second career as a consultant in performance management with clients that included the District of Columbia, cities and counties across the country and a fascinating experience with the US Forest Service in Alaska.
Charles is the proud father of twin sons who never considered a career in government but choose advertising instead. The family joke is that more people probably believe their television commercial featuring a field of tulips in Holland (actually plant flats filmed on a gymnasium floor in Manhattan) than their father’s government reports. They, along with four grandchildren, live in New York so Charles is still a frequent flyer.
