Jim Hayden
Jim Hayden is in his fifth term as East Granby's First Selectman. East Granby is a small town of 5200 residents which has a rural feel due to beautiful open spaces such as East Granby Farms, the Tariffville Gorge and over 5 miles of bike trails. East Granby also has a high-tech manufacturing component due to its proximity to Bradley International Airport. Because of this diverse mixture, for many years East Granby has been honored by Hartford Magazine as one of the "best small towns in Hartford County".
Jim Hayden has served on many local and state-wide boards and commissions. He is a past President of the East Granby Lions and NAIFA Connecticut. He is current President of the Metacomet Homes, Inc. Board of Directors which provides affordable senior housing in East Granby and President of the Bradley Development League. In 2013 he was appointed by the governor to a three-year term on the Board of Directors of the Materials Innovation & Recycling Authority (MIRA).
Jim Hayden is proud to be a member of the Resilience Grows Here (RGH) Steering Committee. RGH is committed to developing programs which will serve the mental health needs of the Farmington Valley veterans' community and their families. Much has been given to our country by our veterans with little asked for in return. Jim considers it a community responsibility to reach out to our veterans and to address their specific needs.
