Martin Romitti to leave UMass Donahue Institute

Less than a year-and-a-half after he started, Martin Romitti, the director of Economic and Public Policy Research at the Donahue Institute at the University of Massachusetts, has announced his departure. Romitti said in an email that he will be leaving UMass to start a new job in Washington D.C. as senior vice president for the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness, an independent non-profit that assists policy makers on devising regional job-creation strategies.

Romitti also served as managing editor of MassBenchmarks, the economic journal of the University of Massachusetts. University officials said they will begin to actively search for his replacement in late August. Romitti’s last day is Aug. 3.
