Lewiston/Auburn Senior College plans to host Grace McCarthy, an expert on fraud and a speaker for AARP Maine, for its November Food for Thought program.

The presentation is set for 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14, in Room 170 at USM Lewiston/Auburn, Westminster Street in Lewiston.

For those who prefer Zoom, organizers will put out a link to sign in from home. The event will last one to two hours, depending on questions and discussion.

McCarthy is a former police officer from Maryland who was selected to attend the FBI National Academy. Her husband is a Mainer, and after several trips to Maine (and reading newspapers revealing very scant criminal activity) they decided that Maine was the place to start a family.

For a few years she worked as a substitute teacher and ultimately started a career with L.L. Bean in security. She retired after 23 years as a senior analyst, having spent the majority of her time investigating internal/external fraud.

McCarthy is a member of the Bowdoinham Committee on Aging, a volunteer for People Plus in Brunswick, and a presenter from AARP’s Fraud Watch Network.
