Joscelyn Young, current Innovation Pathways Coordinator, is stepping into the role of BVEF Executive Director.

Plans are already underway for the coming year! BVEF and our incoming Executive Director, Joscelyn, are looking forward to continuing to foster the relationships as BVEF continues to expand and strengthen business partnerships in and around the Blackstone Valley.
