HR, business, ministry, and website support for New Haven and Connecticut organizations, from a firm already working with Connecticut clients.
New Haven sits on the Connecticut shoreline between New York and Boston. Yale University and one of the region's largest hospital systems anchor the local economy, and the churches on the New Haven Green are among the oldest congregations in the country.
