Morris Elected Chairman of Family ReEntry Board

September 26, 2017 - The Board of Directors of Family ReEntry, a nonprofit leader that assists families affected by the criminal justice system, today announced the unanimous election of Christian Morris as its new Board Chairperson.

Morris takes over at a critical juncture for the region's leading reentry service organization as it seeks to expand its programs, frequency of counseling services, and increase its advocacy efforts - all in the midst of state budget delays and inconsistencies.

"It's an honor to be elected and I'm dedicated to the success of this organization," Morris said. "Our goal is to continue to support all of the members of society and their families through services that restore dignity and renew families that have been impacted by incarceration and the justice system."

Morris moves into the leadership position from his already established position as a member of the Family ReEntry Board of Directors. Family ReEntry gains Morris' skills and knowledge of healthcare, technology and financial management.

Jeff Grant, Executive Director of Family ReEntry, said, "We are very excited to have Christian help to guide the future of Family ReEntry. His business experience and passion for our mission will be a major factor in our growth and success."

Currently, Morris, a resident of Fairfield, CT, is the Director or Sales and Marketing for Greenwich-based AdminaHealth LLC, a healthcare technology company specializing in vendor and claims administration for self-funded healthcare plans.

Prior to his position with AdminaHealth, Morris co-founded SmartPath Labs, a technology and business advisory firm focused on new market adoption and strategic partnerships for emerging technology companies. His background also includes his role as Executive Vice President of CometaWorks, a technology solutions company.
