Grace McNamara has worked in the nonprofit communications field for more than 20 years, specializing in outreach and community relations. Prior to her arrival at LRPA, she worked in marketing, public relations and project management at several institutions, including Boston College, the Boston Center for Adult Education, Franklin Pierce University and Tilton School. Most recently, Grace worked at Emerson College, where she co-directed the largest graduate program and taught courses on the undergraduate, graduate and continuing education levels. She feels lucky to work with the dedicated LRPA staff, board, volunteers and producers who do so much to empower their communities through locally-produced media. Outside of the station, Grace likes to garden, play the piano, power walk, and binge-watch TV. She lives in Gilmanton with her husband Marc, daughter Alexa, and Boo — The Cutest Dog in The World.
