HPA Names Executive Director

The Hartford Courant reports that the Hartford Preservation Alliance, until now an all-volunteer organization, has hired an executive director. She is Laura Knott-Twine, previously the director of the Small Business Administration Office of Women's Business Ownership at the University of Hartford. Lee Kuckro, a member of the HPA board and head of the selection committee, told the Courant: "Now we have somebody that is on duty every day instead of just people who are working a regular job and trying to squeeze in a half an hour here or there."
