Hartford — Governor Dannel P. Malloy on Friday named a Groton woman as one of two Connecticut residents to fill vacancies on the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Nancy A. Turner of Groton serves as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Program coordinator for Advanced Behavioral Health Inc., where she works with state agencies, health care providers and nonprofit groups assisting substance-exposed infants and their families.

From 2012 to 2016, she served as director of offender risk reduction with the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, where she helped develop recommendations to improve the response and prevention efforts of intimate partner homicides and near fatalities.

Malloy also nominated Stephen D. Dargan of West Haven to serve on the parole board. Dargan served as a state representative for West Haven from 1991 to 2017, and as state House chairman of the Public Safety and Security Committee for 22 years.
