About Dana Harrison
I am a capable, collaborative leader committed to achieving equity in social, economic, and educational outcomes. I hold a deep belief that education, in its many forms, is the most powerful lever for changing lives and livelihoods and am driven by a strong commitment to social justice and the intentional advancement of historically underserved communities. In my 20+ years working in education, government, and private sector environments, I have developed skills in senior management and operations, strategy and advisory services, program management and grant administration, project direction and institutional partnerships facilitation, early learning and literacy instruction, K-12 education policy and programming, college access and post-secondary pathway development, monitoring and evaluation, social impact and sustainable development practices, and non-profit management. I am a strategic thinker always seeking opportunities to collaborate alongside committed colleagues working to confront complex challenges and enact meaningful change through sustainable, evidence informed development and continuous improvement.
