CCADV Board + Staff
Leadership. Teamwork. Commitment.
Teamwork is at the heart of every great achievement. Our dedicated Board of Directors and staff work every day to transform Connecticut’s response to domestic violence.
We are inspired by the strength of survivors as they navigate what may be the worst moments of their lives. It is their strength and resilience that energizes our work of ending domestic violence and creating a world where no person lives in fear.
