  • Sept 7: it is with mixed emotions that we bid Dr. Melinda Mingus farewell to CT. She has long served our region as patroller (CT Region Patroller of the Year, 2015-16 season), Instructor (CT Region Instructor of the Year, 2022-23 season), CT Region Director's Award recipient 2013-14 season, CT Region Safety Advisor, Eastern Division Safety Supervisor, force behind our division's Patroller Stress Awareness program, CT Region Medical Advisor, the list goes on. Melinda has been a friend, mentor, supporter and role model for many of us. She is moving to NVT where she will continue to contribute to NSP. With every loss, comes opportunities and it is with great pleasure that I welcome Dr. Steven Goldblatt as our new CT Region Medical Advisor. Steve is not new to this, as he has been serving as our Assistant Medical Advisor. He has big shoes to fill, and I know he will excel in his new position. All the best to Melinda in NVT and welcome to your new role, Steve!
