Connor Yakaitis Development Director connor@ctlcv.org 860.236.5442 Connor is first and foremost a Dog Dad and prefers to spend all of his free time with his yellow lab, Dakota. She has been known to supervise the office from time to time. He is also a budding musician and can be found playing guitar and singing original tunes at a variety of locations around CT. His love of the environment comes from a one-year trip around the country he took in an RV with his family in high school, where they visited 35 national parks and hiked countless mountains. After all of that traveling, he knew Connecticut was his one true home and chose a career that is dedicated to protecting its natural resources, pristine forests and beautiful coastline that he often spends boating with Dakota. |
