ECEC Names M. A. Lucas

The Early Care and Education Consortium (ECEC), a national alliance of America’s leading private non profit and for profit providers of early learning programs, announced the appointment of nationally renowned early childhood expert M. A. Lucas as its new Executive Director. The ECEC Board also announced the promotion of Policy Director Mary Beth Salomone Testa to Deputy Executive Director.

ECEC Board President Mike Radway noted that the hallmark of M. A.’s 30-plus year career with the United States Army was “the transformation of the Army’s child development programs into a model for the nation that has been praised by groups as diverse as the U.S. General Accountability Office, the U.S. Congress, the Clinton Administration, the Urban Institute, the National Women’s Law Center, and Child Care Aware. Most importantly to us,” added Radway, “M. A. shares our passion for serving children and families, our commitment to quality, and a keen understanding of what it takes to bring quality to scale.”
