Klingberg Family Centers President to Retire
Klingberg Family Centers President Rosemarie A. Burton, who has been at the helm of the New Britain/Hartford-based multi-service nonprofit since 1993, has announced plans to retire this fall.
During her tenure, Klingberg Family Centers has developed a comprehensive range of programs for youngsters and families facing a variety of behavioral health issues. The agency has expanded their services from three to nearly 20 programs serving more than 2,500 persons across Connecticut on an annual basis. She also saw two major building projects to completion with the opening of the Tilcon Recreation Center and the construction of the innovative Raymond Hill School.
Mrs. Burton and her husband, Tony, plan to relocate to North Carolina to be near family and their twin granddaughters. Her next venture is the development of ‘By Your Side Coaching and Consulting,’ which focuses on providing leadership development, executive coaching, team effectiveness and succession planning services to organizations nationwide.
