TVCCA bids a tearful farewell to Robin Pierce, The Alliance for Family Support’s Assistant Director, who’s been with the agency for 34 years. (In the large photo, that's Robin on the right.) She did amazing things during her tenure here and won the respect and love of her team and families in the community, where she was Family Liaison for Child Development. She helped grow the Outreach program as well as the Alliance, where she’s been since 2021. She will be missed, and we wish her every success as she embarks on her next adventure. #TVCCA #community #leadership #EasternCT
