Waterford Country School announces a historic change to the Board of Trustees as Raymond Currier has been elected Board Chairman. Ray has been on the Board since 2018 most recently serving as the Board’s First Vice Chair, the Chair of the Endowment Committee and a member of the Finance, Personnel and Executive Committees. Ray is currently the Chief Operating Officer of CorePlus Credit Union in Norwich and it has been announced he will soon be their new Chief Executive Officer. He brings a wealth of business and financial expertise to the agency and strong organizational and leadership skills to the Board. While he has big shoes to fill, the entire Board and CEO Chris Lacey believe he is the right person to continue to move the Agency forward.

Since 1976, Robert ‘Chip’ Anderson has been Chairman of the WCS Board. He has a deep commitment to the Agency and has worried over, supported, and advised us for a long time. The 70s and 80s were a very different time for WCS. We were a new non-profit, having previously been a family business. Those were the years that WCS defined its modern mission working more closely with Connecticut state entities and expanding our school and other programming. Chip oversaw all of that, and our continued development through today, while working with four of the five directors in the agency’s history. His contributions to WCS, both direct and indirect, are impossible to define and rivaled only by members of the Schacht family. While stepping down as Chairman, Chip will remain on the Board and continue to serve the Agency as a Trustee. We are so thankful for his loyal service and dedication to Waterford Country School.
