Celebrating the Retirement of Michael Morris, Managing Director of Client Services

CHEFA extends its heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to Michael Morris, who is retiring after an extraordinary 35-year career with the Authority. Since joining CHEFA in 1990, Michael has served in multiple key roles, culminating in his appointment as Managing Director of Client Services in July 2015.

Throughout his tenure, Michael provided strategic oversight of bond issuance and closing processes, led the development of new products and sectors, and managed the Authority’s Arbitrage Rebate and Compliance functions. Under his guidance, CHEFA completed over 600 bond transactions totaling more than $24.3 billion—helping Connecticut’s nonprofit institutions meet critical capital needs and strengthening the state’s health, education, and cultural infrastructure.

Before joining CHEFA, Michael began his career in residential mortgage banking. He holds both a B.S. in Economics/Finance and an MBA from the University of Hartford.

Michael’s deep institutional knowledge, thoughtful leadership, and steadfast commitment to public service have left a lasting mark on CHEFA and the communities we serve. We congratulate him on his well-earned retirement and thank him for his decades of dedication.
