As Chief Development Officer, RoseAnn Lovely oversees all aspects of fundraising and public relations for The New England Center for Children, Inc. (NECC®), an education and treatment center for children with autism.

RoseAnn received a MBA in Finance from Boston University, and a BSBA from Salem State College.

With nearly 15 years of business management experience, RoseAnn Lovely joined the NECC staff as Director of Operations in 1985, after serving as executive director of Associated Group Homes in Danvers, MA. As director of operations at NECC, she was responsible for all financial and operational functions including budgets, cash flow management and plant and equipment management. She was also responsible for all functions of the fundraising program. As the fundraising program expanded, RoseAnn's title was officially changed to Director of Development, so that she could focus her energy on the ever-increasing fundraising needs of NECC.

RoseAnn has raised nearly $10 million since she became director of development ten years ago, and she is the person responsible for creating NECC's Annual Golf Classic, which raised a record $200,000 in 2007. Under RoseAnn’s direction, NECC recently completed a $5.5 million Capital Campaign for a Therapeutic Aquatic Center, which included a successful matching grant from The Kresge Foundation. RoseAnn also serves on the Board of Directors of NECC as a member and Clerk.
