On the occasion of MASCD’s 30th anniversary in 2002 and to ensure its fiscal viability for the future, MASCD established an endowment to support its mission of promoting quality teaching and learning for all. In 2003 MASCD named the Endowment Fund for Betty Allen who died while serving as president. Betty was Superintendent of Schools in Danvers, MA and a dynamic educational leader. The Betty Allen MASCD Endowment Fund will enable the continuation of MASCD services as well as the development of new opportunities to serve educators in the Commonwealth.
