John Guszkowski, who is stepping down as CT RC&D Board President after 25 years of dedicated leadership and service to the organization, received a congressional citation at CT RC&D’s Annual Meeting.

“For two and a half decades, John has been a steady visionary and fearless leader for CT RC&D. Through his perseverance and commitment, he helped guide the organization through periods of change, challenges, and growth, ensuring that CT RC&D remained a strong and respected voice for conservation, agriculture, and rural communities across Connecticut,” said Amanda Fargo-Johnson, CT RC&D agricultural programs director.

In honor of his leadership and commitment, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney presented Guszkowski with a congressional citation honoring his contributions to conservation, agriculture, and community development throughout Connecticut. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy also sent a formal acknowledgment recognizing Guszkowski’s many years of service and leadership to CT RC&D and the communities it serves.

“John’s leadership has helped strengthen CT RC&D’s partnerships, programs, and impact across the state,” said CT RC&D Executive Director Jocelyn Weir. “We are deeply grateful for his outstanding leadership, dedication, service, friendship, and unwavering commitment to CT RC&D, to communities across Connecticut, and to all of us who have had the privilege to work alongside him.”
