Luvsan reconnected with Mr. Chris Celmer M.S. ED, a long-term educational leader who announced his retirement from K-12 education, when he was opening his own consulting company focused on educational consulting services. After several meetings, they agreed to couple their consultative visions and aspirations under Devopar. Celmer, who was well known for his 20 plus years in education administration, offered a unique background of education and business with a particular expertise in analyzing and revamping operational systems within an organization to ensure equitable access for all students. Celmer served as the Assistant Superintendent for the now PA Secretary of Education from 2014-2019. In 2019, he was hand selected to lead the stabilization effort under the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit (MCIU) for the Harrisburg School District. Celmer served as the COO and Receiver Appointed Superintendent under a consultative partnership agreement through MCIU. During his career, Celmer worked for over a decade with the Berks County Intermediate Unit and was a GED and adjunct business instructor for Reading Area Community College.
Celmer and Luvsan then recruited Dr. Susan Sneath, an educational leader with over 28 years of expertise in teaching and learning, leadership development, academic systems, accessing equitable instructional practices, and the cycle of continuous improvement, to join the Devopar team as a Project Manager / Senior Consultant in February of 2023. Dr. Sneath is well known across Pennsylvania for her work with the Pennsylvania Inspired Leadership Program (PIL). During her career where she served in rural and urban settings, Dr. Sneath served as a Principal, School Counselor, Chief Academic Officer and Assistant Superintendent.
Devopar is proud to be recognized as WBENC-Certified firm.
