MSSEF Chair Selected for Governor's STEM Advisory Council

Governor's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Advisory Council

On October 14, 2009 Governor Deval Patrick signed an Executive Order creating the Governor's STEM Advisory Council and appointed Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray the Chairman. This Council will work to move Massachusetts in a positive direction relative to a STEM prepared workforce. Our shared goal is to ensure that all students are educated in STEM fields, which will enable them to pursue post-secondary degrees or careers in these areas, as well as raise awareness of the benefits associated with an increased statewide focus on STEM. Through this collaboration, we can make a difference in supporting the Commonwealth's goal of continued leadership in scientific and technological innovation.

The Chair of the MSSEF Board of Directors, Barnas Monteith, was sworn in as a member of the STEM Advisory Council on January 28th 2010 at the Council's Inaugural meeting.
