The future of data is a system where no student, parent, or teacher is left in the dark without the information they need to make key educational choices involving a child’s future.
James supports DQC’s ongoing fundraising and grant management efforts, which back the organization’s work to ensure students, parents, educators, and partners have access to the information they need to make decisions and help students excel. He also supports development and engagement strategies for DQC’s Board of Directors, as well as other key organizational initiatives.
