Old Saybrook Resident Elected to Middlesex United Way Board of Directors

At Middlesex United Way’s Annual Meeting on Jan. 25, Old Saybrook resident and Attorney Carl P. Fortuna, Jr. was elected to serve a two-year term on the organization’s Board of Directors. Fortuna has been a Principal at the law firm of Fortuna & Cartelli, PC since 1994.

Fortuna has served as Chairman of the Old Saybrook Board of Finance since 2000. He is also a member of the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce, Middlesex County Bar Association, and the Connecticut Bar Association.

“United Way addresses the most important needs in our society,” says Fortuna. “United Way helps those among us who are unable to help themselves, and seeks to transition those most in need from dependent to independent.”

Fortuna earned his bachelor’s degree from Boston College and his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law.
