Advisors

NERA is very fortunate to have two alumnae from the region serving as its co-advisors:

Michelle Brinck: A former president of the Alpha Iota Nu chapter (Norwalk Community College), Michelle is the regional coordinator for New England. She has had a wide variety of experiences in Phi Theta Kappa, including being one of the charter members of NERA, serving as campaign manager for Ari Disraelly’s successful run for international office, and currently being co-advisor of her home chapter. She also works as the Director of Student Activities at Norwalk. You can read her full biography here.

Diane Hutchins: Formerly president of NERA (2006 – 2008), Diane became one of NERA’s co-advisors this year after serving briefly as treasurer. She was also a two-term regional officer for New England, receiving the Phi Theta Kappa International Distinguished Regional Officer Award in 2004 for her work as regional president. She is a proud alumna of the Alpha Chi Epsilon chapter at NHCTC-Laconia (now Lakes Region Community College) and spreads her love and enthusiasm for Phi Theta Kappa in all that she does.
