Kendall Massett Delaware Charter Schools Network
Kendall Massett is the Executive Director of the Delaware Charter Schools Network (DCSN), a non-profit organization supporting 24 charter schools statewide that provide independent, tuition-free public education to 15,882 students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Prior to her work as an advocate in the education space, Massett served as Director of Business for At Your Service Hospitality Management from 1998 to 2011. At Your Service provided interim managers to fill open management spots in hotels and restaurants across the country and abroad. During her tenure, she filled in positions ranging from Banquet Manager to Food & Beverage Director to Hotel General Manager.
Massett’s role as an advocate is a direct result of her time as a 2010 Fellow of Leadership Delaware, Inc. (LDI). During her fellowship, two speakers rose to the top for her – Command Master Chief Chuck Baldwin and Bill Manning. Both spoke to the group about leadership and education in the First State. Massett knew that was where she wanted to give back to her community in Delaware, and since 2012, she has been able to do so. Massett holds a B.S in Business Management from North Carolina State University and a M.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Management from the University of Maryland University College.
She is the President of the Board of Trustees of The Brady Kohn Foundation, a volunteer-driven foundation dedicated to educating the public on the use of stem cells from umbilical cord blood to save lives. In the Fall of 2017, she joined the Board for Christ Church Episcopal Preschool where her children attended. Along with her husband Kelly and their two sons, Massett is an active member of Christ Church Christiana Hundred, where Massett was baptized at the age of 40. The Massetts live in Wilmington, Del. with their dog, Bayley.
