Today, State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton), Senate Chair of the Committee on Children, released the following statement following the announcement that Connecticut’s Child Advocate Sarah Eagan, who has served in that role since 2013, will step down in September:
“In my time working with the Committee on Children, I’ve come to know Sarah as someone dedicated to the protection, benefit, growth and goodwill of the youth of Connecticut. Her admirable efforts and steadfast advocacy on issues impacting children across the state have played an important role in policy development and lawmaking. Sarah truly is an Advocate for children and their wellbeing. I’d like to thank her for her time working for the children of Connecticut and look forward to meeting her successor, who will undoubtedly continue her important work. I wish Sarah all the best in the future.”
