Rutland County Parent Child Center (RCPCC) announced the appointment of Corissa Burnell and Stephanie Carvey as its new co-executive directors, in a news release April 5.
“Burnell and Carvey, accomplished and talented leaders, bring a wealth of experience to RCPCC and the community it serves,” the release stated.
Corissa Burnell is a graduate of Johnson State College where she majored in psychology, concentrating on child development. She has spent the past 22 years working in nonprofit, community-based agencies with a focus on children and families. Her history of service within this field has included an established position within the Rutland Regional Medical Center as well as multiple community partnerships that have worked to benefit the families in our county. Beginning her RCPCC career in 2018 as a certified early interventionist, Burnell’s career naturally progressed forward within the agency to increasingly challenging and rewarding roles. Her extensive experience has made her transition to overseeing programming, operations and community outreach as the co-executive director seamless.
Born and raised in Windham County, Stephanie Carvey moved to the Rutland area in 2007 to pursue a career in education. She completed her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Castleton State College and more recently completed her master’s in leadership studies through Vermont State University. Her career in early education started with a desire to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond and turned into a passion of supporting children and their families through the earliest and most essential times of brain development. She is also dedicated to supporting workforce development to bring educators into the field. She is licensed by the state of Vermont to teach children from birth through 6th grade and holds a Director Step 3 Credential from Northern Lights at CCV. Over the years she has supported her community by serving on many committees and networks, and advocates at the legislative level, alongside Let’s Grow Kids, for superior equitable early childhood education and care for Vermont’s families.
“The dynamic combination of these accomplished women’s expertise, as well as their devotion to the community, heralds an age of growth and achievement for RCPCC,” the new release continued. “The agency has experienced an instantaneous boon from their compassionate leadership that is certain to continue. The constituents, families, leaders, and those invested in Rutland County are all encouraged to join in this growth and participate in the great work being accomplished at the RCPCC.”
