Connection and Community: A West Rock Community Retreat

Johnson Weinholtz LLC would like to share a recent retreat that my business, Johnson Weinholtz LLC coordinated and developed in collaboration with Southern Connecticut State University, West Rock Development Corporation, Michaels Development Organization and the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven. This is a project that we have been working on coordinating with our sponsors and the administrative staff of Southern Connecticut State University for the last three months.

The results and feedback were astounding. Local businesses, non-profits, university faculty and staff, members of the local community all turned out to take part in the retreat that tackled numerous issues in the community including: poverty, diversity, employment, integrated services, community redevelopment, education and more.


I would especially like to thank: Dr. Selase Williams (Provost SCSU), Dr. Ronald D. Herron (Vice President for Student & University Affairs SCSU), Nancy M. Chucta (Administrative Operations Assistant SCSU), Cassandra Lang (Admissions SCSU and Community Advocate), Thomas Lovia Brown (Johnson Weinholtz LLC Program Associate/Workshop Leader), Patricia A. Johnson (Vice President, Johnson Weinholtz LLC / Program Leader), James A. Johnson (Partner, Johnson Weinholtz LLC), Tricia Jessica Johnson Esq. (VP of Compliance and Research, Johnson Weinholtz LLC), Joy Dunston (Program Coordinator, Johnson Weinholtz LLC), Curtis Jennings (Director of West Rock Development Corporation), Donn Weinholtz (Program Associate) and everyone who invested time, energy and funds to make this event occur without a hitch.
