Meet Our Staff
Everyone on our staff has particular skills, and brings considerable experience to the work we do. We also work very effectively as a team. We share a commitment to and enjoyment in serving those we assist. We are helped by interns and skilled volunteers, without whom we could not accomplish all that we do. We relish the chance to help to nurture the next generation of talented people who will care, as we do, about the people who live in New Britain, Central Connecticut and the Metro Hartford Region.
