Through participation, honorees join an elite leadership network sharing a commitment to making Connecticut a better place in which to live. Since 2000, honorees have raised more than $600,000 to help end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.
Ramsteck is a longtime supporter of the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter and other civic and nonprofit organizations. In addition to her support of the National MS Society, Ramsteck has been involved with the United Way, YMCA, Children’s Village and the Women & Children’s Shelter of Stamford.
