The Board of Directors of Mill Cities Community Investments is excited to announce that Glynn Lloyd has been selected as its next Executive Director to replace founder Frank Carvalho. It is excellent news for MCCI that the board found a leader equally as passionate and visionary as Frank Carvalho to take the organization into the future and continue to grow its impact.

It is with great enthusiasm and humility that I take on the role of Executive Director for MCCI. Founder Frank Carvalho and team have built an incredibly impactful community institution that has provided capital and other services to those with less traditional access.
As a small business owner and more recently as Executive Director of the Foundation for Business Equity, I know first hand how challenging it is for our community and specifically our business owners to build net worth. The last 12 months have shined a spotlight on how important the work of MCCI is and I am honored to be in a role to continue and grow that legacy.
I look forward to connecting with you directly in the work,
-Glynn
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am thrilled to usher in the next phase of MCCI with the announcement of Glynn Lloyd as our new Executive Director. Glynn and the Foundation for Business Equity have been close partners already with MCCI in bringing financial resources and technical assistance to businesses in the Merrimack Valley. We faced a daunting challenge in seeking a new leader to step into the shoes of our visionary founding Executive Director and are deeply and eternally grateful to Frank Carvalho for his wisdom, experience, passion and perseverance. We are excited to bring on an equally visionary, entrepreneurial, mission driven, and effective leader who will nurture that vision and build on it.
