WEST HARTFORD/HARTFORD, CT — A prominent West Hartford resident and Hartford native was named to the board of directors of a local nonprofit dedicated to racial equity in the area.

The Urban League of Greater Hartford Board of Directors hosted its 2024 annual meeting on June 20, where West Hartford resident Pamela Hippolyte, assistant vice president at Liberty Bank, was elected as a new member of its board.

Her appointment was one among many named to the board that evening.

“We are excited to welcome the expertise and vision of our officers and our new Board members as our organization enters a new year of empowerment,” said David Hopkins, president and chief executive officer of the Urban League of Greater Hartford. “I am excited to work with all of them and our dedicated staff as we conclude another decade of the agency’s legacy of impact.”
