Last November NECC lost our dear colleague of nearly 20 years, Maria Felix Lonergan, who courageously fought cancer while working at NECC. In memory of Maria and her significant contributions, NECC is issuing an annual award to an NECC teacher who exemplifies three main themes inspired by Maria: mentorship of new professionals, advocacy for students’ effective education, and professionalism.
This year we had 8 outstanding nominations:
1. Justin Bashaw – Educational Coordinator
2. Kelly Benhart – Program Specialist
3. Taylor Burke – Educational Coordinator
4. Jennifer Davidson – Lead Teacher in our partner program/Framingham
5. Talitha Linden-Darrow- Educational Coordinator
6. Dominique Maribett- Reading/Education Specialist
7. Lauren Mossman- Speech and Language pathologist
8. Melissa Swisher- Educational Coordinator
NECC congratulates Jennifer Davidson on receiving the 2016 award! Jennifer has been with NECC since August 2008. She received a financial award and her name will be displayed in the student library in our student activity center.
