Alan
M. Cregg is the Executive Director of Vision Coalition
Massachusetts. In this role, Alan leverages his diverse career experience
in advertising, communication, real estate, law, and non-profit organizations
to remove poor vision as an impediment to literacy, education, and a better
way of life for the citizens of Massachusetts.
Alan's path toward Executive Director of the Organization brings him full-circle
in his career. On, February 7, 1977, as an undergraduate student at Yale
University and a member of the hockey team, he was hit in the eye by an
opponent's hockey stick. The blow from the stick caused a rupture resulting
in the loss of most of the vision in his right eye. Alan graduated from
Yale a few months later, and continued to pursue a career in advertising;
but his own personal experience with eye safety would continue to impact
and shape his career in the years to come.
Over the years, Alan became a successful advertising executive, working
with some of the world's largest and most-recognizable names in consumer
products at Ogilvy & Mather, one of the world's largest Ad agencies.
A few years later, he made a career change, graduating from Duke University
School of Law and working as a corporate lawyer with a few Boston firms,
before joining his father at Cregg & Cregg.
In 2000, Alan was offered the opportunity to add yet another experience
to his career. As Executive Director of the Vision Coalition Massachusetts
(formerly known as Prevent Blindness Massachusetts), Alan leverages his
experience in marketing, advertising, business, and law-but he also works
to champion a cause that is extremely personal to him: helping people maximize
their vision potential.
