children – Kara and Nicole. Presently

Public Giving, coordinating the
After-School Initiative; and previous to that served as executive director of
Hartford Areas Rally Together for eight years.
Jim
most recently served on the State-appointed Hartford School Board of Trustees
for two years. Jim has been very
active in Hartford’s community development for years.
His work presently involves strengthening positive youth development for
adolescents through increased partnerships of youth-serving organizations in
Hartford. This was a continuation
of the type of work that he provided at the Hartford Foundation for Public
Giving.
Jim’s
earlier work at HART included working with a number of community revitalization
groups, neighborhood groups and leaders on community improvement projects and
issues. He
was skillful in working with community leaders to make progress on such issues
as public safety, school modernization, property tax burdens,
home ownership, quality of life, positive
youth development issues and more. Having
been involved in some of these initiatives over the years, Jim now hopes to add
some of his experience, energy and commitment to the many successful City
initiatives presently underway, thanks to the countless efforts of a number of
dedicated City leaders, spawning significant new opportunities for Hartford
residents.
