State Sen. Derek Slap (D-West Hartford), who resigned last week as CEO and president of the Connecticut Technology Council, has been named to another executive position at a Hartford-based nonprofit and social-services agency.
The Village for Families & Children, which provides behavioral-health, youth-development and substance-abuse treatment for children, families and adults in Greater Hartford, on Wednesday said it hired Slap to oversee the organization’s development, communications and marketing as the new vice president for advancement.
As previously reported, Slap in January was hired by CTC to lead the statewide association’s technology-oriented companies and institutions. He stepped down from that post last Friday.
In February, Slap was elected to the Senate 5th district seat vacated by former Sen. Beth Bye, who stepped down to become commissioner of the Office of Early Childhood.
Slap is also currently a lecturer at Yale University and was previously an anchor and reporter at NBC Connecticut. He also served as chief of staff for Senate Democrats from 2007 through 2014 and was communications director for the city of New Haven from 2003 to 2006.
