“The 2025 Executive Connections (EC) Program, delivered by the outstanding Leadership York Team, was instrumental in building my foundational knowledge and understanding of York County and its economic, social, artistic, educational, industrial, agricultural, and government-past, present, and future. As a recent transplant to York County from the Washington D.C. area, EC’s networking and workshop sessions provided insights and knowledge I could not have gained elsewhere. In fact, I don’t know of any other program in the county delivering this kind of quality, relevant content connecting leaders here in York. Since discovering what gems we have here, I’m “all in” to support and promote York and the amazing quality of life, opportunities, and programs we have for all of our citizens.”
