management; community and constituent relations; and strategic planning
– I believe Mary Claire Ryan is uniquely qualified for the Executive
Director position.”

Charter School for Excellence, the Cornelia Connelly Center, and the

I’ve learned with certainty the power of a shared purpose, the
satisfaction of solving a thousand problems for the first time and over
and over again, the excitement of defining and knowing success, the
incredible challenge of growing an institution and keeping it alive and
relevant by effectively measuring and showing results.”
