CCADV Announces Appointment of Jennifer Little-Greer to its Board of Directors
Wednesday, January 20, 2021
Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCADV), which works to transform social, and political attitudes through advocacy, policy development, public awareness, and education, today announced the appointment of its newest member of the Board of Directors, Jennifer Little-Greer. A resident of Hamden, Ms. Little-Greer currently serves as the Executive Director of the Minority Construction Council. She is responsible for leading advocacy efforts, increasing and maintaining corporate and minority business contractor memberships, developing programming for MBE contractors, and executing an annual business plan and mission to the organizations overall strategic plan.
“Jennifer brings with her immeasurable skills in management and diversity that will have a meaningful impact on the work of CCADV,” said David Bogan, CCADV Board Chair and partner at Locke Lord, LLP. “As an active champion of diversity in the construction industry, she is well positioned to strengthen CCADV’s efforts to ensure an equitable and accessible domestic violence service system.”
Said Ms. Little-Greer, “CCADV is the cornerstone of the state’s systemic response to domestic violence and I am excited to join the Board of Directors and contribute to this critical work. As a member of Bethel A.M.E Church in Bloomfield where my husband is the pastor, I have the opportunity to connect with all the women of the church. I am also a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Women Missionary Society where our focus is aiding and advocating for women and children in Connecticut through our community outreach. Domestic violence happens to women who are church members across all religions and I believe my role can bridge the gap by partnering with churches to receive training to recognize when someone is in an abusive relationship so they can connect them to CCADV.”
CCADV is the state’s leading voice for victims of domestic violence and those organizations that serve them. We are a membership organization of Connecticut’s 18 domestic violence service providers that offer critical support to victims including counseling, support groups, emergency shelter, court advocacy, safety planning, and lethality assessment, among other services. CCADV also houses CT Safe Connect, Connecticut’s domestic violence resource hub, offering a 24/7 coordinated response to survivors.
