Dwight Hall names two new staff members
Dwight Hall recently added two new staff members in an effort to enhance the organization's volunteer activities that benefit the New Haven community.
Daisy Rodriguez, formerly assistant vice president of community relations at Yale's Office of New Haven and State Affairs, has returned to the University as development coordinator at Dwight Hall following a two-year stint at The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven.
"I am so pleased to be back at Yale among my friends and former co-workers," says Rodriguez. "I am looking forward to working on the upcoming capital campaign for Dwight Hall's physical plant and endowment."
During her seven years with Yale, Rodriguez was responsible for the planning and administration of the University's giving program including cash contributions, in-kind services and support of community special events, all of which were major cornerstones to Yale's social and community efforts.
Raymond L. Bendici has been named the business manager at Dwight Hall. His responsibilities include all the financial aspects of the organization.
Bendici formerly was senior district executive for the Boy Scouts of America, Connecticut Yankee Council, in Milford, where he directed the volunteer staff in planning and implementing programs for over 700 youths. He also directed several fundraising campaigns, raising over $100,000, and recruited and motivated community leaders to serve in volunteer positions within the organization. Previously, he was the owner and operator of The Book Exchange, Ltd. in New Haven and administrative services manager for Security Pacific National Bank in New York.
"I look forward to working with the staff and students at Dwight Hall," says Bendici.
Dwight Hall is an independent, non-profit umbrella organization devoted to promoting public service and social justice. Today the organization includes 3,000 volunteers, over 70 student-coordinated volunteer programs and a vast network of student involvement with more than 100 different agencies in New Haven.
