Senator Blumenthal Visits Klingberg
The Senator Tours Two Vital Programs
Sen. Richard Blumenthal visited Klingberg Family Centers to meet with Klingberg President Steve Girelli and tour several programs. The main purpose of his visit was to see the fine work we do, especially the Webster House, which relates to his interest in the interface between physical health and mental health. The Senator spent a great deal of time talking with the adolescent residents in the program and was very eagerly and warmly received by them.
Klingberg Vice President Honored
Joe Milke, Nominated for Hartford Business Journal -- CFO of the Year 2011
Joe Milke, Klingberg Family Centers’ Vice President of Finance and Administration, was recently nominated for recognition as the ‘Hartford Business Journal — CFO of the Year 2011’. Pia Brown of Ovation Benefits Group, which serves as KFC employee benefits broker, nominated Joe, based on her respect and appreciation for his great work: “I have worked with Joe for almost two years on the employee benefit plan strategy (design and cost). He is thoughtful and comprehensive in the application of the changes to plans in order to achieve the best balance of cost and coverage for his employees, and in staying true to the mission of Klingberg Family Centers. Joe has guided his organization through some tough financial times due to state funding cuts, and has been instrumental in the development of a new program to help children/families with special needs.” Always optimistic and encouraging, Joe has had the admiration of his coworkers at KFC for many years. Now we can all celebrate with him as he is recognized throughout Greater Hartford for his tremendous contributions to Klingberg Family Centers and our cherished clients. Congratulations Joe.
