LOCATION:  HYBRID MEETING - Country Club of York and Virtual Online Meeting at www.zoom.com 

 

Our in person speaker will be Michael Newsome, Governor Tom Wolf’s Secretary of the Office of Administration.  Newsome, a former executive for the Wolf Organization, York Daily Record and Armstrong World Industries, will discuss how his experience as a business person, private citizen and taxpayer have influenced his approach to public service, as well as key initiatives being undertaken by his department to make interacting with government less like…well… interacting with government!  As a member of the Governor’s senior staff and cabinet, Newsome leads the agency responsible for oversight and administration of the enterprise functions of human resources, information technology, equal employment opportunity, continuity of government and records management for nearly 80,000 employees.  Newsome has served in past and present roles on the boards of the York County Community Foundation, Memorial Health Systems Foundation, Crispus Attucks Charter School, York County Industrial Development Authority and York County Heritage Trust, among other organizations.
