The Shepherds Board announced this week that Dan McAuliffe has been appointed Executive Director of Shepherds, Inc. effective immediately.

Shepherds is a non-profit organization that provides mentors and sponsors for inner-city CT students to attend non-public high schools in their local communities.

Dan has been a Director of the Shepherds Board Director since 2011 and has been a mentor and sponsor for two Kolbe Cathedral High School students. Dan previously served as Interim Executive Director in 2014.
