Questions - Grant Writer
Pamela Davies joined the City of Nashua in mid-December of 2019. Ms. Davies’ primary
focus, in addition to finding and applying for grants as they became available, has been to learn
as much as possible about the city and the school district and their needs so that she can be
increasingly effective in identifying funding opportunities as time goes on. Ms. Davies has
collaborated with many city departments and we look forward to her contributions in FY21.
