Welcome Karraine Moody and Solidea Pitruzzello, AMP's new Board members! 

Karraine has served as the chief executive officer of Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity for the last six years. She opened the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Bloomfield, launched Habitat’s neighborhood revitalization initiative to address blighted and vacant properties, and opened the Financial Freedom Center to provide asset building workshops for families within Greater Hartford. Prior to that, she held positions with Hartford Public Schools, United Technologies, and managed her own consulting firm. 

Solidea ("Dea") is currently the vice president, retail banking administrator, at Northwest Community Bank. She has worked at other banks in the region since 1995, as well as at the Hartford Board of Education, Southend Community Services, and the Wheeler Clinic. She holds extensive certifications and licenses, and has served on the boards of the Farmington Rotary, the Plainville Chamber of Commerce, the Wheeler YMCA, and the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. 

As AMP continues to grow, with additional programs, events, and renovations, the Board will play a pivotal role in fundraising, financial management, marketing and public relations outreach, and the next five-year strategic plan. We are excited to have them join our Board!
