“I can't say enough about the importance of the MassGAP project to encourage new administrations to seek out women for senior positions. MassGAP's approach of contacting women of accomplishment and skill directly, and putting forward a series of resumes well-matched to key state jobs, is an invaluable service to a new administration as well as to highly qualified women.”
- Amy Schectman, Director, Public Housing and Rental Assistance
“Governor Romney and Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey attribute much of their success in attracting top-level women to serve in their Administration to the Mass GAP program spearheaded by the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus (MWPC) shortly after the 2002 gubernatorial election.”
-Office of Governor Mitt Romney
“Had it not been for the extraordinary effort that [MassGAP] put forth to make women in the private sector aware of these opportunities, I would not have been selected as the state’s first Chief Human Resources Officer … I applaud MassGAP for its efforts.”
-Ruth Bramson, former Director of Human Resources, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
"Without MassGAP's support I would not have been appointed as Highway Commissioner. MassGAP vouched for my credentials, putting the power of its organization behind me and getting me the critical exposure I needed to compete for the job. MassGAP gives hope to all professional women who aspire to contribute to public service."
-Luisa Paiewonsky,Commissioner,
Massachusetts Highway Department
"I wanted to let you know that I have been appointed General Counsel for the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. I feel certain that this wonderful – and very challenging – opportunity would not have happened without the support of [MassGAP]."
- Kristen Apgar, General Counsel for the Executive Office Health and Human Services, Commonwealth of Massachusetts |
