PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Maeve Donohue, Governor Chafee's final nominee to the eight-member board of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, won unanimous approval Tuesday from the state Senate, said Senate spokesman Greg Paré.
Donohue, 41, is president of Nami Studios in Barrington. At the integrated design, marketing and communications company, Donohue works with small businesses and corporate brands on their web strategies, social media and graphic design needs.
Donohue is also working on strategy for a project that grew out of the Rhode Island Foundation's Make It Happen RI forum last fall. The foundation awarded $50,000 to the MedMates project, which is convening people in the state's medical-technology sector to enhance collaboration and attract more such work to Rhode Island.
