A Vision for the Future of the Blackstone Valley

For more than 25 years, BVEF has worked to connect education, industry, and community to create meaningful opportunities for students and educators throughout the Blackstone Valley. That work began with a vision shared by dedicated community leaders, including founding board member Lee Gaudette, whose commitment to education helped shape the foundation we know today.

Watch Lee's story and discover the legacy that continues to inspire our work.
