Dana Mingolello comes to the ConnectiCorps program 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.

Dana brings a strategic, yet “hands on” perspective to ConnectiCorps with large-scale event background and oversight for: operations and logistics, budgets, community outreach, marketing, sponsorship, tickets, volunteers, television production, and player services.

In addition to her work at the tournament, she also was the Marketing Director for Market New Haven, the marketing arm for the City of New Haven. Market New Haven annually promotes dining, shopping and cultural attractions as well as stages New Haven Restaurant Week and the Concerts on the Green.
