Mary Sarris has spent several years as the Executive Director of the MassHire-North Shore Workforce Board (the WB) and has recent retired from this position. The WB, one of 16 across the state of Massachusetts, is charged with developing and supporting our workforce development system so that individuals and employers needing labor market services, (i.e., education, training, job placement, etc.) can access them quickly and successfully.

Before coming to the WB, she was the Executive Director of the Lynn Business/Education Foundation, a private, non-profit local education fund designed to be a vehicle for business involvement in the Lynn schools.

Currently Mary is on the Board of the North Shore Community College Foundation and is active with other non-profit organizations.
