LEWISTON — Maggie Davis, executive director of College for ME-Androscoggin, has accepted a position as director of Early Learning & Youth Programs with the YWCA, Lewiston, commencing Feb. 1.
“Maggie has been a stellar champion for College for ME-Androscoggin,” said Board Chair Hillary Verrill. “She has led this organization to new heights during her time with us and provided a solid foundation when C4ME’s two founders retired. She will be greatly missed.”
The mission of C4ME-A has long been to awaken college aspirations, support successful college experiences and celebrate educational attainment. During her tenure, Davis has assisted youth and adults in reaching their higher educational goals through partnerships with Androscoggin County’s school districts, adult education centers, businesses, and community organizations, as well as the various institutes of higher education in the region.
“Working for College for ME-Androscoggin has been an honor and a privilege,” Davis said. “I am so proud of the work that it does in this community, region and state advocating for and supporting educational attainment. The comprehensive scope of College for ME-Androscoggin is revolutionary.”
With news of Davis’ departure, the C4ME Board is taking this opportunity to review the work it does and obtain feedback from its partners and stakeholders to move forward in a direction that will continue to advocate for a strong college culture throughout Androscoggin County.
“We have a very engaged board, and we look forward to what’s next for C4ME. Change can be difficult, but it can also be exciting to see what can next be accomplished,” Verrill said.
