Denver, Colorado –

Denver-based nonprofit US-Brazil Connect announced today that Meg Barritt, Program Director, is stepping down from her position at the end of the year.  US-Brazil Connect will celebrate Meg’s contributions at Colorado Gives Day on December 9th at Rodizio Grill.

“As Program Director for the past two years, Meg Barritt has played a key role in building a team that brings our passion to a large scale,” wrote President Mary Gershwin in a letter to supporters. “She represents the very best of what we create together and I’m so appreciative of all she has done to build our work.  I’m grateful for her service and assistance in transition as we select new team leadership from an impressive group of candidates.”

Barritt leaves her position to serve as the Operations Manager of the Posner Center for International Development, also in Denver. She hopes to stay in close contact with the international community she helped foster at US-Brazil Connect.

“I’ve learned an enormous amount over the past two years and have been fortunate enough to work in such a fun, engaged and talented community,” said Barritt. “I’m still so committed to the mission of US-Brazil Connect and am looking forward to watching its continued strengthening and growth in the coming years.”
