From PENJERDEL Executive Director, Andrew L. Warren
"The PENJERDEL Council is dedicated to informing and educating the business community in the tri-state region by leading and supporting issues and projects affecting infrastructure, mobility, sustainability and growth".
The preceding mission statement is a tangible result of last year's All Member Afternoon Workshop.
Brian Cohen of Liberty Property Trust, Barry Eiswerth of H2L2 Architects/Planners, Jane Rowan of Bioengineering Group and Loretta Simon of Comcast Cable made up the designated working committee tasked with rewriting the PENJERDEL mission statement.
The inviting new brochure, also a recommendation of the "2010 and Beyond" work session was presented with the creative compliments of H2L2 Architects. How fantastic a job!
Employing the mission statement words of "inform and educate" as their mantra, the collective PENJERDEL committees presented an exciting program series throughout the year. Notably: Jeff Leonard, who is Vice Chair of Business Law at Cozen O'Connor, hosed and co-chaired a Real Estate Committee event: A member/guest ;uncheon featuring Harold Schweitzer, former COO of the $70 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), who spoke to the guests about early days at TARP, punctuated by the challenge of being the man-in-charge as the administration transitioned from Bush to Obama. Spring saw us at the Chart House Restaurant along the Delaware as Dan DiMucci, of Pennoni Associates, led the Transportation Committee in an exhilarating meeting featuring top tri-state transportation leaders. Mark Gale (PHL), John Matheussen (DRPA), Dennis Rochford (Maritime Exchange) and Barry Seymour (DVRPC) presented the diverse yet demanding goals and objectives of their respective organizations.
In October, Bruce Katcher of Manko Gold Katcher & Fox showed us the future of that vast prairie of South Broad Street land once home to the Navy Yard. Meeting at Urban Outfitters newly renovated location, we saw and heard what fantastic opportunities have presented themselves down there.
Looking ahead: we invite you to join us as we surge onward - making the PENJERDEL region an even better place to work and to live!
