Meet Chris Griffin, Director of Learning and Development
Chris Griffin, a seven-year RDI veteran, was put On the Spot this week to tell us all about himself and his new role at RDI! Though Chris didn’t know much about education and training when he started, he’s since learned a lot of valuable information and received mentorship from the best of the best at RDI.
When he’s not helping employees pursue professional development, Chris loves binge-watching reality TV shows and painting miniatures. Though not an artistic person by nature, Chris has challenged himself recently to explore hobbies outside his comfort zone, and he’s loved learning more about painting and art. Check out the video above to hear about the challenges and rewards of painting!

Milford Volunteers at City Gospel Mission
The volunteers served dinner and dessert at the homeless shelter
RDI employees from Milford volunteered at the City Gospel Mission homeless shelter last weekend, where they prepped, cooked, and served taco salads (a new favorite) and desserts.
Per Kari Rea, Milford’s Engagement Manager, “It’s always such a rewarding experience to be greeted warmly and to connect with the people we’re serving. We’d love for you to join us! We head down there every third Sunday of the month, and if you’re interested, just reach out to your Site Engagement Manager or Director of Culture to get involved. We look forward to seeing you there!”
