Meet Our Board of Directors

Arnett Talbot was born and raised in Connecticut and a proud graduate of the University of Connecticut, Arnett moved to Cheshire over forty years ago, raising her family here. In addition to early career management roles in non-profit organizations, including the United Way, and a variety of volunteer experiences, she spent over thirty years in Cheshire’s municipal government. She worked closely with the Town’s impressive and professional management team and volunteer officials on budgets, policies, project planning and implementation, resident services, human resources, and organizational operations. Her knowledge of the town and its strengths and needs led her to the growing and under-recognized issue of unstable housing and homelessness in Cheshire. Now that she is retired and has a bit more free time, she is pleased to be part of the first Hope for Our Neighbors board, working with community partners and the Town’s Human Services and Police Departments to give every resident in Cheshire the opportunity for safe, secure, and stable housing.
