Who We Are

DeHavilland Associates serves the field of business/education partnerships in two ways: as a consulting/communications firm and as an information provider.

Consulting Services
The company works with individual clients to help them understand the
K-12 education market and to create education outreach initiatives that meet their own objectives and the needs of all targeted stakeholders. Clients include corporations, foundations, nonprofit organizations, industry associations, and school districts; services include market research and analysis, strategic planning, partnership development, campaign implementation and management, marketing and outreach, and evaluation.

Information Provider
DeHavilland Associates supports the field of business/education partnerships by creating resources for practitioners and by helping those practitioners to find and share information on building effective partnerships and programs. Key initiatives include:

• The Effective Education Partnerships Conference, an annual gathering of professionals in the field to share case studies and best practices.
• Webinars on various aspects of building effective partnerships.
• The Business/Education Partnership Forum, a clearinghouse for anyone interested in learning to build effective partnerships. This clearinghouse offers news, links to resources, a directory of organizations, and a monthly newsletter.
• The SAI Guide to Building Effective STEM Education Programs, a guide written for NASSMC, and underwritten by Lockheed Martin, to provide practical advice on building a strong STEM education program.
• Business Coalition Leaders Speak Out on Education, a survey of coalition leaders (chambers, NASSMC coalition members, etc.) on their interests and experiences working with schools and districts.
• Community/School Partnerships: A National Survey, a survey of school and district leaders on their interests and experiences working with community partners.
