The Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence announced it has appointed Meghan Scanlon as its next president and CEO.
Scanlon, who currently serves as executive director of the regional nonprofit Women & Family Life Center, will assume the new role on June 28, CCADV officials said, succeeding Karen Jarmoc, who stepped down last year.
Graver said in one afternoon, she lost 80 percent of her business.
And then a friend told her about the Women & Family Life Center in Guilford, which was also facing making some big changes.
Executive Director Meghan Scanlon said, we, obviously had to pivot during the pandemic, and recognized that a lot of the women coming into the center for all kinds of resources were struggling financially.
The girls empowerment program, for which they were awarded the $10,000 grant had to be suspended for social distancing.
Social Worker Emilie Steinnagel says the cash they re giving families, is just the beginning. We re not just giving $500 and people are walking away. We re giving $500 and we re hearing what s going on in their life, and then helping them connect to other kinds of resources that they didn t know that they were able to access, said Steinnagel.
