“Dan Saul is a great addition to The New England Center for Children’s Board of Directors, and we are grateful for his participation and leadership,” said Vincent Strully, President and CEO of The New England Center for Children. “Dan’s perspective on business and technology will add real value to the Board, and further our mission of transforming the lives of children with autism worldwide.”
“I’ve been incredibly impressed by The New England Center for Children’s ability to combine education, technology, and research to develop evidence-based approaches to ensure that each child with autism is able to reach his or her potential,” said Mr. Saul. “I’m honored to join the remarkable NECC community of students, families, educators, researchers and staff.
