ABOUT CAROLYN'S WORK
Carolyn McKecuen is an entrepreneur who provides consultation, training, and technical assistance to organizations engaged in community and economic development.

Until 1995, McKecuen directed the Watermark Association of Artisans in its growth from a marginal crafts shop into a full-service, worker-owned cooperative, providing income for over seven hundred, low-income artisans by developing their access to mainstream markets.  She began as one of 30 artisan-members of the craft cooperative in 1978, and within a decade molded Watermark into one of the nation’s largest.  In 1986, McKecuen and her husband founded the Northeastern Education and Development Foundation (NEED) to teach residents the skills that they need to join Watermark as artisans.  She also created the International Internship Program, which has trained persons from more than one hundred organizations throughout the world.

BIOGRAPHY
McKecuen was the owner of the Albemarle Crafts and Arts Gallery (1972-1974), and operated her own pottery buisiness (1977-1981) prior to joining Watermark.  She was the executive director of Watermark (1981-1995) and taught pottery classes at the College of The Albemarle (1977-1984).  Since 1995, she has been co-principal of McKecuen Consulting, Inc.

McKecuen attended Miller-Motte Business College, Southwestern Technical College, Arrowmont Craft School, the University of Tennessee, and the National Cooperative Training Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Carolyn McKecuen是一位企业家，为从事社区和经济发展的组织提供咨询、培训和技术援助。

个人简历
在加入Watermark之前，McKecuen是Albemarle工艺和艺术画廊的所有者（1972-1974），并经营着她自己的陶器生意（1977-1981）。 她是Watermark的执行董事（1981-1995），并在Albemarle学院教授陶器课程（1977-1984）。 自1995年以来，她一直是McKecuen Consulting, Inc.的共同负责人。

McKecuen曾在Miller-Motte商业学院、西南技术学院、Arrowmont工艺学校、田纳西大学和美国农业部的国家合作培训中心学习。
