Thrive Support & Advocacy, a Marlborough-based nonprofit offering human services to individuals with developmental disabilities, has bolstered its board of directors with three new members, electing Amy Reardon Doherty, Mary Ellen Duggan, and Stephen Maintanis to two-year terms.

Duggan earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Fitchburg State University and graduated with her master’s in education from Cambridge College in Boston.
