"The JCC is one of the truly great community organizations in Connecticut," Bonner said. "I am incredibly honored to have been selected among so many qualified candidates. I consider it a tremendous privilege to oversee the marketing efforts for a non-profit that has such a storied history of offering an endless array of programs and services. They have an incredibly talented staff and I'm looking forward to working with them as we continue to serve everyone in the Greater Hartford area."
