Hi Donna,

Congratulations! You will be the coolest Mayor......you're a rock star! B&I is happy for you but sad for us because you have become such a valued member of our team and our customer's team in assisting them with Workforce Training grants.  Newburyport's very big gain is our loss for sure!  Best of luck....if you need any training for your municipal workers you know who to call ;).

Best of Luck,

Judy

Congratulations Donna !! I am so happy for you. Your persistence paid off in running for this important position and the residents of Newburyport recognized your vision, skills, and devotion to the city. I am proud to have been directly involved in your selection to join the Resource Development staff many years ago and I know you have contributed greatly to MCC in that role, as well as your outstanding teaching. It has been a pleasure to work with you. Your particular expertise with International grants and Workforce Development will leave a large hole to be filled. Best wishes on this new challenge for you. Please remember to also take time for yourself and your family. You will do well !

It just goes to show what faith and persistence can accomplish. Depite a few bad breaks, you had the confidence to challenge your competitor and you also have the ability to outperform him.  

This is an impressive feat and one you should be very proud of. Newburyport has gained an honest, hardworking, creative mayor who will live up to her promises. The sky's the limit now!

Good luck!

CONGRATULATIONS, DONNA!  I am happy and a bit sad at the same time because I will miss our friendship and all our McNair discussions! I am proud to know you and wish you the best and much success! Keep in touch...

To All My Friends & Colleagues,

I am so very grateful for all of your words of support and expressions of congratulations. It is with mixed emotions I will be leaving MCC on Nov. 25th to begin my transition to my new position as Mayor of the city of Newburyport.  I have enjoyed my work in the grants office and have had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people to develop new programs for the college and greater community.  I know the networks and contacts that I have had the opportunity to be part of through MCC will be invaluable in my new position. Thank you so much.

Donna
