JOE GOMEZ, CPA, President
Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
As someone raised by working parents, and raising their own family where there are two working parents, I have experienced first hand the impact that early education and quality child care can have. Connections for Children is a leader in early childhood issues, and an organization that I am proud to be active with. Connections enables me to use my professional and personal skills to give back, and impact the lives of the youngest members of our community for the better.

Early childhood care and education are vital to the success of any community. Without access to these services, children and families are exposed to a lifetime of potential disadvantage. I am inspired by the unique blend of services Connections For Children provides to the west side and surrounding areas. CFC leverages its staff’s expertise and community ties to offer invaluable support to children, families and childcare providers. I work with the Board Nominating and Recruitment Committee and the Fund Development Committee. Exposure to these dedicated and talented teams has furthered my esteem for CFC and its supporters.
