Dana Mingolello comes to The Alliance following a long tenure with the Connecticut Open, a women’s-only professional tennis tournament held annually in New Haven the week before the US Open. She’s served as Tournament Manager of the international event, and simultaneously, acted as Deputy Director for the Tennis Foundation of CT.
