The Senior Center staff and members would like to send our heartfelt congratulations out to Lee-Ann on her retirement from the City of Norwich.
Lee-Ann began her career as a 21 year old University of Connecticut graduate. In 1986 she was hired by Norwich Social Services under the leadership of Beverly Goulet. She worked for many years as a social worker, eventually working her way up to the Supervisor of Norwich Human Services. In 2014, Lee-Ann replaced a retiring Beverly Goulet as the Director of Human Services.
Twice delaying her retirement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she is finally able to step away gracefully after her continued demonstration of great leadership in the community. Lee-Ann’s contributions to Norwich are unprecedented and she will leave an indelible mark on this wonderful community for which she has served for 36 years.
We wish her all the best in retirement and hope for a lifetime of happiness and good health for her and her family as she embarks on this newest chapter of her storied life. Norwich is a better place because of you Lee-Ann Gomes!!!
