Slap Leaving Technology Council for Social Service Job.
State Senator Derek Slap (D-West Hartford) is leaving his post at the Connecticut Technology Council (CTC) this month. Slap, who also served as a state representative, is a former chief of staff for the Senate Democrats. He also worked for the University of Connecticut Foundation while serving in the legislature.
Slap, who announced his resignation in an October 9th email, “will pursue a new opportunity in the non-profit/social service sector.” No word on if that will be with an organization that receives funding from the State of Connecticut.
Here’s Slap’s message:
Dear board members,
I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. I do want to share some news with you. I will be leaving the Tech Council later this month to pursue a new opportunity in the non-profit / social service sector.
Change can mean opportunity – and in this case the chance to build on the strategic decisions & collaboration that we embarked on this Spring with CCAT. Discussions with CCAT surrounding CTC’s alliance with them are continuing and I’m sure you will be fully updated at the next board meeting on Nov. 4th, if not sooner.
I have greatly enjoyed our work together and am grateful for your partnership. Connecticut is a small state so I’m confident and hopeful that we will have other opportunities to connect.
Yours,
Derek
