New head at social service agency

The Rutland County Parent Child Center has a new executive director with decades of experience and a lifetime of dedication. Caprice Hover plans to increase community participation and put the center's financial needs in the spotlight here in Vermont and in Washington. The Center has about 50 employees staffing offices in Rutland, Brandon and Poultney. It serves more than three-thousand children and families with child care, assists teenage mothers get high school diplomas and supports other programs. Hover's experience in the nonprofit sector has made her a successful competitor for grants. In 2005, she applied for and received $80,000 from Congress for the Rutland Housing Coalition.
