KOOTASCA Community Action’s Executive Director, Maureen Rosato, will retire on December 31, 2024, after nearly 28 years of dedicated service. Throughout her career, Maureen has overseen programs that serve the community’s most vulnerable populations, including Head Start, the Crisis Nursery, and family support services.
