Mary Coleman is the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Economic Mobility Pathways (EMPath), a Boston-based non-profit that disrupts poverty through direct services, advocacy, research, and a global learning network. As a child and adult, mentor, college professor, administrator, and citizen Mary has wanted to know why and how working poor families exit poverty and sustain their exits across generations. Working in dispossessed lands across four continents, and as a child who attended both segregated and desegregated public schools, she knows first-hand that prospects for a decent world are explicitly linked to opportunities for intergenerational familial and national thriving.
