Spitzer was selected for his dedication and commitment to understanding the intricate needs of local employers, and the resources available through the college and other partnerships to help these businesses grow.
Many in the community know him through his facilitation of continuous improvement projects at local businesses, and the networking he does to help develop resources for the students in the MIT program.
