Jacquie Clark Jacquie Clark: M.A., CCC-SLP
President, CEO


Jacquie had been a speech-pathologist working with children with special needs for over 20 years. She came up with the idea to use current events with her students and was amazed by their response. In 1997, she published her first newspaper-based book, titled "News-4-You.” While this gave teachers a framework to start with, it still lacked topical information, and teachers had to do all of the preparation. At this same time, the Internet was just coming into its own, and Jacquie saw a means to bring topical information to students as well as ready-to-use material for teachers. Today, N2Y® has grown to include not only the News-2-You weekly newspaper but Unique Learning system curriculum, and SymbolStix ONLINE. Jacquie holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Arts degree from University of Cincinnati.




David Clark David Clark
Vice President


Dave spent 26 years in the U.S. Air Force working in intelligence and retired as a full Colonel. He now writes most of the content you read in the newspaper. He was initially unsure if his wife's first business venture would survive. Needless to say, N2Y has proved Dave wrong many times over. Jacquie likes to point out the fact that after years of following her husband around the world in various Air Force postings, Dave now works for her. Dave holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and a Master of Arts degree from Southern Illinois University. In addition, David also earned a Master of Military Science equivalent degree from the Naval War College.




Michael Clark Michael Clark
Vice President of Development


Michael is Jacquie and David's son. Before joining News-2-You® full time in 2003, he worked in software consulting for many large Fortune 500 companies. A lot of his free time was spent working with Jacquie to set up the company's infrastructure. When the company was finally able to hire him full time, Michael gave up being a ski bum in Denver and moved to the flat lands of Ohio to manage the ever growing N2Y infrastructure. Mike is responsible for all the development, design and support of the N2Y websites and overall network infrastructure. Mike earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering from Miami University in Oxford, OH.




Christin Wostmann Christin Wostmann
Vice President of Business Development


Christin (Chrissy) is Jacquie and David's daughter. Prior to joining N2Y, she spent 7 years team teaching 3rd and 4th grade in Cincinnati, OH. Her wealth of education knowledge has made an easy transition into the Business Development position she now holds. Chrissy's outgoing personality and people skills are critical in building and expanding the N2Y brand. She is responsible for all B-to-B content licensing, and international relations around the SymbolStix product. She is also responsible for training, marketing, and N2Y promotions across all market brands. Chrissy holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, and a Master of Science degree in Reading both of which are from Miami University in Oxford, OH.
