North Stamford Resident Is Appointed Library Development Director

A marketing veteran has been named to lead the Greenwich Library's fund-raising efforts.

Greenwich Library has announced that Nancy Klein has been appointed as its new Director of Development.

The North Stamford resident will report to the President of the Greenwich Library Board of Trustees. Klein was most recently the Chief Marketing Officer at SeriousFun Children’s Network, the global network of camps founded by Paul Newman for children with serious illnesses, where she provided leadership, vision and strategy to the development and marketing teams.

“We are enormously pleased to have someone with Nancy’s extensive experience in marketing and fundraising at the Library. The Town of Greenwich funds the Library’s operating budget, but it is support from thousands of donors that the Development Office raises that allows us to enhance and develop new programs and services for the Greenwich community,” the Board of Trustees President Haley Rockwell Elmlinger said in a statement.
