FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A newly established and highly selective development program will train and equip dedicated personnel for outreach in key states, further accelerating adoption of the Preface model.
GWINNETT COUNTY, GA. – Building on its robust initial results and a continued drumbeat of national interest, Preface has officially launched its 2020 Expansion Director Initiative (“EDI”), signaling an outlook of enhanced growth and continued expansion into communities across America. Leveraging the talents of an accomplished group of young professionals, the EDI will serve to initiate and jumpstart institutional partnerships across the country – especially as Preface’s innovative relational model continues to become more vital to educators in a digital learning environment.
“We’re beyond excited to welcome our inaugural 2020 Class of Expansion Directors into the Preface family,” said Jonathan “JT” Wu, Founder & Executive Director of Preface. “Building the inaugural class of any highly selective program is no easy task, so we couldn’t be more grateful to have partnered with the Princeton University Center for Career Development to jumpstart this initiative with exceptional talent. As we here at Preface continue fighting to empower students and foster early childhood literacy across the nation, we’re confident that the work our Expansion Directors are doing today will fundamentally transform the lives of the next generation for years to come.”
Wu added that the diverse array of passions and perspectives embodied by the 2020 Expansion Directors further highlights the broad-based appeal that the Preface model can hold for communities across the country. With the inclusion of such a talented group of individuals to support expansionary efforts, Preface appears poised to continue enhancing the educational conversation around the nation – with a multilingual twist.

Jack Aiello of Northport, NY
Megan Donahey of Phoenix, AZ
Sofi Quevedo of Miami, FL
Nadia Rodriguez of Houston, TX
