Meet Ben Perron

My wife, Jean, and I have lived in Granby since 1996 and raised our three daughters here, all proud graduates of Granby Memorial High School. Professionally, I spent many years designing technical solutions for business needs at The Hartford and CVS (Aetna).

I’m completing my first term on the Board of Finance, and I’ve also served Granby in a variety of roles — including Vice Chair of the Board of Education, Chair of the Granby Education Foundation, and member of the 2024 Granby Charter Commission, Capital Program Priorities Advisory Committee, and several school and athletic field building committees. I’ve also enjoyed years of coaching youth basketball and Little League.

These experiences have given me a deep understanding of what our community values: strong schools, responsible fiscal management, and services that reflect the needs of residents. With state mandates putting new pressures on our town, I believe collaboration among the Board of Finance, Board of Selectmen, and Board of Education is more important than ever. I’m committed to continuing to serve Granby with a focus on practical solutions that balance fiscal responsibility with the needs of families and the community.
