History of Rutledge
Rutledge Center, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization
that was established in 1968. Its purpose is to serve and promote the general welfare of individuals with developmental
disabilities that live in Newnan and Coweta County. We provide services which enhance the development of human dignity
and growth toward self-sufficiency.
A thirteen member Board of Directors, which serves in a voluntary
capacity, governs Rutledge. Nineteen staff members under the direction of an Executive Director perform the daily operations of the organization. All staff have
received extensive development training in critical areas of health education, public law, awareness issues, and direct job-related
subjects.
