Former CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital – Plymouth

Having enjoyed an over forty year career as hospital chief executive, I can honestly say I never encountered anyone better than Judi at organizing data, resources and people around problems to be solved or opportunities to create. She has a unique talent for creating movement in communities where talk doesn’t always lead to action. You will have to move to keep up with her.

Dennis Lassige, Regional Manager
North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters

Parents and students are no longer accepting as fact that direct college entry is the one-and-only option for everybody. Judi discovered that the Building Trades apprenticeships have offered viable and valuable careers for generations. Her frustration and curiosity around careers for young people has turned to enthusiasm and advocacy for apprenticeship. Through her boundless energy and the unique structure at Specialized Career Guidance, Judi has become an invaluable resource for young people seeking careers in construction, for training programs seeking motivated apprentices, and for contractors seeking skilled craftsperson’s.
