NHTI President Patrick Tompkins said, “Annie is extraordinarily well known, respected, and loved in the Concord community and athletics more generally. Just as Paul Hogan essentially created NHTI’s athletics program over the last two decades, Annie will shape our women’s and men’s sports for the next chapter. Annie understands how the dual role of student-athlete develops women and men of good character who go onto notable successes on the field and in the community. Along with our superb coaches and passionate athletics staff and volunteers, Annie will ensure NHTI remains the preeminent athletics program among New Hampshire’s community colleges and in New England.”
“I would like to thank President Tompkins and the hiring committee for the opportunity and honor to lead the Athletic department at NHTI,” said Mattarazzo. “I am extremely excited and ready to get to work with the student-athletes and coaches to help the programs continue to be successful and grow. In loving what I do, it was the overall community feel and connection at NHTI that drew me in and the team approach to the department that made me feel at home. NHTI’s mission of innovation, empowering their diverse community, and overall focus on building and strengthening partnerships with community entities are all very appealing to me in my profession.”
“Concord has always been a part of my life and a big part of my family’s life, so to be able to work in this city is very special and something I will pride myself on and focus my energy on daily,” she added.
