Tina Spears joined the CPNRI Team in 2019. She brings a wealth of experience and dedication to CPNRI. Under her leadership, the organization has significantly expanded its capacity to serve members while spearheading initiatives to raise public awareness on the financing of public services and fostering an anti-ableism movement.
Tina’s academic background includes a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s of Public Administration from the University of Rhode Island. However, her true passion for advocacy arises from her personal journey as a parent raising a child with significant health challenges. This first hand experience ignited her commitment to supporting families of children with disabilities.
In her free time you can find Tina hiking, spending time with her family and exploring her love of travel.
Jenna joined the CPNRI Team in 2021. Before that, she worked with the organization in a consulting role for four years.
Jenna’s academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts & Sciences in Politics and Law and a Master’s in Communications for Bryant University. Her passion for nonprofit work and events began in social entrepreneurship class working with various organizations with social missions to create a positive impact on the community.
As Director of Programs, Jenna manages many aspects of day-to-day operations including events, grants, workforce programs and member relations.
In her free time, you can find Jenna playing soccer, hiking and spending time with her baby girl, husband and two dogs.
Nick Friend joined the CPNRI Team in 2022. His passion for communication started at 13 when he started a podcast in his childhood bedroom. From there, Nick has a decade of in-the-field communications experience including in public relations, newspapers, radio, podcasts and most recently TV News.
Nick oversees CPNRI’s communication including our growing social media presence, communication with our members, our advocacy work at the State House, in-house video productions and much more. Nick is a graduate of Ithaca College and looks forward to continuing his work with the CPNRI Team.
Outside of work, you will find Nick spending time with his wife, riding his bike, playing a board game or reading a book.
Carissa Groccia joined the CPNRI Team in 2021. A year later, she received her Master’s degree in Applied Community Development and was promoted to Project Manager.
Carissa’s passion for social justice and nonprofits began in middle school and continued throughout her college career, where she broadened her horizons through a transformative study abroad experience in Bangkok, Thailand. There, she delved into Thai Civilization and Environmental Science, gaining a global perspective on our world’s interconnected challenges.
In her free time, Carissa enjoys listening to audiobooks, true crime podcasts and visiting local coffee shops; bringing along her forever foster pup whenever possible.
Doreen joined the CPNRI Team in 2012. She left the medical field in 1974 after the birth of our daughter. Her disabilities were such that childcare in those days was not an option.
As her daughter grew, Doreen moved into the world of advocacy. She began working at Parents and Friends for Alternate Living (PAL) in 1987. PAL worked with families and individuals with disabilities, creating partnerships with families, provider agencies and state agencies. Ever since retiring, Doreen has been coordinating the RI Pooled Trust.
Policy Coordinator
Grace Duffy joined the CPNRI Team in 2023. She is a current government and public health student at Connecticut College. Grace’s work with CPNRI began by working on DEIAB efforts and eventually moving to policy creation and advocacy.Â
Grace found a passion for advocacy at the age of eleven, when she became involved in the childhood cancer community. Since then she expanded her interests into the world of equitable healthcare and has spoken at dozens of events, advocating on behalf of people with medical challenges everywhere.Â
When not in the office, you can find Grace on walks with her goldendoodle, Addie or volunteering at The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp.Â
