An Announcement from Mirellise Vazquez and the Tauck Family Foundation

Announcement From Mirellise Vazquez, Executive Director

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Today, I am writing to share some important news: after almost twelve incredible years, I will be leaving the Tauck Family Foundation at the end of this year for an exciting new professional opportunity in the philanthropic sector.

It has been the privilege and honor of my life to work for and with the Tauck family, the Foundation staff, our Bridgeport-based investee partners, funder colleagues, Advisory Committee Members, and so many others during my tenure at the Foundation. Because of all of you and the relationships we have built with each other, I leave humbled and proud of all we have accomplished together over these past many years on behalf of Bridgeport children and families. I also leave with a full heart, grateful for your partnership, trust, and friendship.

The Foundation’s dedicated Board of Directors and highly capable staff will ensure a seamless and smooth transition. I am also fully committed to supporting a successful transition by sharing my institutional knowledge and anything else that may be helpful to my successor.

This is not goodbye. I am confident that my future work will keep us connected and working collaboratively on behalf of Connecticut’s children and families.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season and all the best for 2022.

With heartfelt appreciation now and always,

Mirellise
