The Bridge Welcomes New Board Members

The Bridge Family Center proudly welcomes two new members to its distinguished Board of Directors: Stacey Samuel, an attorney with Travelers Insurance Company, and Robert Laurie, a partner with Gfeller Laurie LLP.

Since graduating from the University of Connecticut Law School in 2017 with a focus in Intellectual Property Law, Samuel has practiced at several firms in the Greater Hartford area and is now working as an Associate Claim Counsel at Travelers. Stacey was also recently appointed a community service liaison for St. John’s Episcopal Church in West Hartford, where she will engage local schools in community projects. 

Laurie served on the Bridge's Board of Directors from 2007-2016 and was Board President for 4 of those years. Laurie and his wife Tamara were Honorary Chairs of the 2022 Children’s Charity Ball. As a partner at Gfeller Laurie LLP in West Hartford, he is a commercial litigator who represents clients in various industries including financial services, manufacturing, and life science.

“The Bridge is very fortunate to have the commitment and expertise of Stacey and Bob. As evidenced by what she has accomplished in a short period of time, Stacey is driven to meet the needs of her clients and is a results-oriented individual. Similarly, Bob was a very productive board member making significant contributions to the organization and the community during his previous terms on the Board. Stacey and Bob will be tremendous assets to the Bridge, and we look forward to working with them to fulfill our mission,” stated Margaret A. Hann, Executive Director of the Bridge Family Center.
