Harry Hutson, an independent management consultant with graduate degrees from Harvard, Stanford and Indiana University, serves on the Board of Directors as Vice Chairman. Drawing on his professional expertise in human resources at Global Knowledge Network, Avery Dennison and Cummins, Hutson heads the NECC committee on executive compensation. Hutson is also a graduate of Hamilton College where he studied Asian culture and volunteered on the geriatric floor of a New York state hospital.

Hutson says he was drawn to the Center by its mission, which he sees embodied by the people who comprise the school—the students, teachers, and staff. He also reports that his two grown children—Matthew and Emily—have volunteered at the school in the past. A hectic pace allows Hutson little time for leisure, but in his spare time he enjoys backpacking, photography, and reading. In addition, Hutson keeps up with his musical interests, from classical to country. Further, a personal favorite is Bob Dylan – “a musician who never repeats himself and still has something new to say!”
