Notre Dame High School is a co-ed, private, Catholic High School, located in Lawrence, MA and is a member of the Cristo Rey Network. This network founded The Corporate Work Study Program. This innovative program allows students to finance the majority of their tuition by offering outsourced full-time, entry-level office jobs. This program not only enables the students to earn tuition, but gives them valuable on-the-job experience.
JOH has been involved in The Corporate Work Study Program since 2009 by providing four (4) students each year with an internship. The students are given their own desks and assignments. Business leadership is provided by JOH employees. |

The overall mission of the Network of Executive Women (NEW) is to attract, retain and advance women in the retail and consumer products industry through education, leadership and business development.
Knowing that female colleagues in the food brokerage industry were few and far between, Bobbie O'Hare decided to establish the New England chapter of NEW. Her mission was to help other women in the region break through the glass ceiling of a male-dominated industry.
Bobbie was most recently recognized as one of the Fifty Most Influential Women the Food Industry by Progressive Grocer!
