THE CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION IN MAMARONECK

WELCOMES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Diane Cashman, a former economist with The World Bank and a seasoned manager whose experience includes educational program development, event planning and marketing, has been named the new Executive Director for The Center for Continuing Education in Mamaroneck. According to board president Leslie Newman, "We are delighted to welcome Diane as our new Executive Director. With her background in international development, she brings new ideas on collaboration, community engagement and global perspectives to The Center. The board looks forward to working with her to bring the best in adult education to Lower Westchester."

Diane lived in Washington, D.C. and Argentina before relocating to southern Westchester six years ago. "I was really excited by the enrichment opportunities in this area," she says. I loved my first class at The Center where I found a community of friends and learners with whom I am still close today. And, as I continued to take classes, I was impressed with the consistently high caliber of teachers and the small class sizes that encouraged participation and fostered relationships. I am thrilled to have a role giving others access to that experience."

She adds, "I hope to bring meaningful programs that increase our understanding of a rapidly-changing and interconnected global environment with thought leaders from the region. At the same time, core learning opportunities such as language and writing classes, arts and games will continue to form the heart and soul of The Center. While the world is global, continuing education is local and I value that The Center helps build community through shared learning experiences."

Registration for the fall session is underway. Classes start the week of September 25. For further information or to register, please visit LMCCE.org or call (914) 698-9126.
