My name is Leslie Dunn. I am currently the Director of Planning and Development with Self Help Inc. I have been with the agency since 1999, in various roles and programs. Prior to Self Help Inc. I worked as a Developmental Psychologist in Early Intervention for 6 years. I have my Master's Degree in Developmental and Educational Psychology from Boston College, and my BA from Umass Boston in Psychology.

Who is Richard T. Ndi?
Richard holds a PhD in History from the University of Yaounde 1 in Cameroon. He currently works at South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC), a Community Action Agency, as client Data Systems Coordinator. He has been on this job for two years. Richard was certified as a ROMA Implementor on August 21, 2023 and has been working to ensure that SMOC is compliant with the ROMA framework. His main focus has been to make all staff know that data is the foundation for all the programs of SMOC. He had also done an evaluation of one of SMOC programs called Sage House and made proposals to improve on the activities of this program.
Before joining SMOC in October 2022, Richard worked as Residential Counselor and Assistant Program Officer in Group Homes from 2018-2022 in Fitchburg Massachusetts.
From 1998-2017, Richard worked with Ecumenical Service for Peace (SeP) in Cameroon. Ecumenical Service for Peace is a non-profit peacebuilding association formed in 1995 in Cameroon. Employed as Regional Director of the association, he made his impact felt by successfully resolving two outstanding community conflicts in the Northwest and West Regions of Cameroon. Twice, he was voted as the best Regional Coordinator in 2000 and 2005. In 2010, he was promoted to the position of Country Director of the Association, a position he held until 2017 when he left Cameroon for the USA. He positioned Ecumenical Service for Peace as a lead nonprofit association in matters of Human Rights promotion, Advocacy for policy reforms and peacebuilding.
Richard attended the Summer Peace Program of the University of Oslo in 2000 and emerged as the best student in his cohort. He subsequently trained in Advance Conflict Transformation in South Africa. He has facilitated international workshops on peace in Cameroon, South Africa, Kenya and Germany.
Richard is a member of the Board of Trustees at the Fitchburg Arts Museum in Massachusetts.
