Today was the first day on the job at the Department of Public Health for Av Harris. He’s now Director of Communications and Legislative Affairs, taking over for Maura Fitzgerald Downes who’s became a Senior Vice President at McDowell Jewett. Since late 2015, Av has been commuting from western Massachusetts (Amherst) to southwestern Connecticut (Bridgeport) to work for Mayor Joe Ganim. Prior to that, Av served for nearly eight years as Communications Director for the Office of the Secretary of the State. Oh, and there was a public radio career before that. Congrats, Av.
