JRI, a nonprofit provider of trauma-informed care to children and families in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, has announced the addition of Maria Carolina (Caro) Ruiz of Boston to its board of trustees.
Ruiz, who is director of Operations Performance Management at Tufts Health Plan, has been a leader in the Latino community, including past elected roles in the Association for Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA).
JRI has had a partnership in place with ALPFA to broaden its connection to Spanish-speaking professionals and communities.
“Caro’s professional experience and advocacy for the Latino community is a great fit for our board and its focus on broadening opportunities for social justice,” said Andy Pond, President of JRI.
I look forward to bringing my particular perspective of the Latino community, which is informed by years of volunteer service, to this board and to help govern and guide the important social justice agenda of JRI.
