“This esteemed group of leaders believes in the power of collaboration, and they believe in Pennsylvania,” said Abby Smith, President & CEO of Team PA. “It is not just the impressive titles they hold and the important industries they represent; these are leaders that align with our core values and are committed to accelerating economic growth for all Pennsylvanians.”

As a nonpartisan public-private partnership, Team PA’s Board of Directors is co-chaired by the sitting Governor and a private sector leader. Representatives from the public sector include leaders from all four caucuses of the Pennsylvania legislature and the secretaries from four agencies: the Pennsylvania Departments of Agriculture, Community & Economic Development, Education, and Labor & Industry. Representatives from the private sector include leaders of business and industry, academia, organized labor, and nonprofit organizations.

“We are pleased to welcome such a diverse, thoughtful, and talented group of leaders to our Board,” said Brian Jackson, private sector co-chair of Team PA’s Board of Directors and Chair of McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC. “They represent all four corners of the Commonwealth and bring with them a wealth of experience and leadership that will benefit the organization and Pennsylvania’s economy.”
