A graduate of Marist College, Patrice had a long career in publishing, first at Meredith Corporation’s Better Homes and Gardens and then at Doubleday, where she was a managing editor. In 1990, she founded Connolly and Associates to serve the marketing needs of publishers, book clubs, and direct marketers.

Pat was introduced to LCF a few years ago and was instantly captivated by the lemurs’ outsized personalities and their alarmingly bleak future. She says LCF has opened the fascinating world of conservation for her.
