MANCHESTER, NH - The Manchester Monarchs, the AHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, have hired Cheryl Abbott as their new Community Relations Director, Monarchs President Jeff Eisenberg announced today. Abbott replaces Rhonda Martin, who recently took a similar position with New Hampshire Special Olympics. "We are fortunate to have someone as talented as Cheryl join our staff," said Eisenberg. "Her experience and her familiarity with our community will be tremendous assets to the organization."
Abbott will oversee the Monarchs public presence and community involvement through the Monarchs Care Foundation, the Goals for Success program, the Monarchs DARE graduation program and several fundraising events.
