The Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence announced it has appointed Meghan Scanlon as its next president and CEO.
Scanlon, who currently serves as executive director of the regional nonprofit Women & Family Life Center, will assume the new role on June 28, CCADV officials said, succeeding Karen Jarmoc, who stepped down last year.
“We are thrilled to have found in Meghan an incredible leader who embodies the values at the core of CCADV’s work,” said David Bogan, chairman of the organization’s board of directors. “After interviewing several candidates with a variety of backgrounds, the search committee and board of directors unanimously endorsed Meghan’s selection. Her experience and ‘get-it-done’ attitude are just the right combination to lead CCADV into the future.”
During her time at the Women & Family Life Center, which serves women and families in crisis, Scanlon transitioned staff from part-time and full-time and built “key relationships with donors and community leaders that have transformed the center’s impact in the community,” CCADV officials wrote.
Prior to the Women & Family Center, Scanlon “worked in the Connecticut nonprofit world,” the organization said. She also served as an aide to U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy and U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes.
