We are thrilled to have found a new home at the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute. Founded nearly fifty years ago as the public service, research, and economic development arm of the University of Massachusetts President’s Office, the UMass Donahue Institute addresses critical questions and develops innovative solutions to help organizations and agencies from both the public and private sector meet challenges, measure success, and set goals.

As the Institute’s newest business group, Connected Beginnings joins the institute’s already robust early childhood presence with the Head Start National Center on Program Management and Fiscal Operations and the New England Head Start Training & Technical Assistance business group.

We are excited by the opportunities this transition will inspire and we are grateful for the sincere and creative collaboration offered by the institute’s executive team: Eric Heller, Interim Executive Director and Carol Anne McGowan, Associate Director.
