After a months-long search, United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut has named a new president and CEO.
The nonprofit network’s board of directors announced Tuesday that Eric Harrison, most recently the president and CEO of a United Way chapter in Ventura County, California, will assume leadership of the Connecticut organization on Feb. 22. Harrison will succeed Paula S. Gilberto, who announced her retirement in May.
Gilberto has headed the affiliate since 2016.
