United Way Welcomes New Board Members

0:00United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut just announced fresh faces on his board of directors, bringing heavy hitters from business, and community scenes. Tom Barnes, chairman at Barnes Aerospace Foundation, kicked off his three-year term back in January. Then, starting April 1st, 2026, Hank Guerrero, Austin G. Provost, Brian Zellman, and Laura Zucker joined up. These new members hit the ground running with serious expertise. Barnes, a fifth-generation Bristol leader, pushes hard for local growth. Guerrero runs NBC and Telemundo Connecticut out of West Harford, packing over 20 years in media leadership. Their backgrounds line up perfect with United Way's mission on housing, jobs, and kid education. Provost, a real estate attorney at Robinson & Cole, got named a rising star in Connecticut Super Lawyers. Zellman, a top-bloomfield developer, now in West Harford, designs community-friendly projects.

With this crew aboard, United Way's geared up to amp-up impact across the 860 region, tackling real needs head-on. That wrapped Hartford News today brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with The Story.
