The Connecticut Business & Industry Association’s board of directors on Thursday elected Rina Patel, vice president of operations multi-site with East Granby-based RSCC Wire & Cable, as its new chair.
In a statement, the business lobbying group said Patel will succeed Jeff Hubbard, who serves as senior vice president and regional manager at Liberty Bank in New Haven.
“Rina adds valuable knowledge and insight to our board,” said CBIA President and CEO Chris DiPentima. “I look forward to discussions with her and the board on developing and implementing policies that improve the state’s competitiveness, drive economic growth and create opportunities for all.”
The board also elected two vice-chairs: Kevin Grigg, the president of Manchester-based Fuss & O’Neill, and Matthew McSpedon, executive director of Connecticut and mid-Hudson middle market banking and specialized industries at JP Morgan Chase Bank in Shelton.
