To say she made an impact in this state would be a huge understatement. As a nurse in the ER prior to her career with MADD, she saw countless victims and survivors of drunk driving crashes and decided that she needed to do something about it.

Thank you Janice for seeing the need and starting MADD CT all those years ago. Thank you for working tirelessly your entire career to make our state a safer place for us all. We promise to continue the work you started, and assure you that MADD CT is in good hands. After all, we learned from the best. We will miss you greatly and wish you well on your new adventure.
