Announcing CCC’s New Executive Director: Keith Andrew Perry

College & Career Connections’ Board of Directors is honored to introduce CCC’s new Executive Director, Mr. Keith Andrew Perry.

Keith is a native Washingtonian, raised in Ward 7, who attended DC public schools and graduated from H.D. Woodson Senior High School right down the road from the CCC office.

He continued his education at Morehouse College where he began his career in public service, serving as president of the student government association while earning his bachelors degree, and later returned to D.C. to obtain a law degree from Howard University.  More recently, Keith received a nonprofit management certificate from American University.

Keith has 23 years of experience working in DC for local government, advocacy, and nonprofit organizations where he has held numerous senior positions and is known for his ability as a skilled leader.  Throughout his many years of public service, he has built an extensive network throughout our city and a diverse set of skills from communications to financial management to strategic planning that will serve CCC well in our next phase of growth and development.

We are thrilled to welcome Keith Andrew Perry as CCC’s next leader – and are confident that he will inspire local youth, build new networks of support, and propel CCC to new heights as we look to build and expand on CCC’s valuable work in the DC community.

During this time of transition, we want to thank you – our many supporters – for your ongoing commitment to CCC and our work with local youth.  We look forward to introducing you to Keith in person shortly!
