Background

In 1960, Millicent used the experience she gained working on Puerto Rico’s “Operation Bootstrap” development program to help found Development Counsellors International with Ted Levine. Since then, she has provided marketing assistance to approximately half of DCI’s clients. She has also authored articles on economic development in national publications such as Barron’s, Venture Japan, Area Development and Business Facilities.

Millie's Passion for Places

Working with DCI from the very beginning has sent Millie traveling throughout at least half of the 50 U.S. states as well as Mexico, South America, the Caribbean, four Canadian provinces and 11 European countries. It's little wonder that Millie enjoys working at DCI, "The Leader in Marketing Places."
