Celebration of Leadership

Honoring Environmental Leadership and Innovation in the Delaware Valley Region

Key note speaker:
Kathleen Alana McGinty

A native of Philadelphia, DEP Secretary Kathleen A. McGinty earned a chemistry degree from Saint Joseph’s University and a law degree from Columbia University School of Law. Since then, her career has taken her to the White House and around the world.


Secretary Kathleen A. McGinty
Between 1989 and 2001, Secretary McGinty served in various capacities in national and international public policy leadership. In January 1996, she was designated a “Global Leader for Tomorrow” by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

During her tenure in the U.S. Senate, Secretary McGinty worked to promote U.S. leadership in the manufacture of advanced technologies while also serving on U.S. delegations negotiating global environmental treaties. She chaired the White House Council on Environmental Quality --- the first (and still only) woman to head CEQ, an office established by law in 1969 --- and acted as Deputy Assistant to President Bill Clinton. She also created and headed the first-ever White House Office on Environmental Policy. In this capacity, and as the senior U.S. government official on environmental matters, Secretary McGinty worked to create a new approach to these issues that bring together environmental and economic interests.

Each Regional Network annually selects approximately twenty up-and-coming leaders to participate in a yearlong fellowship that increases their public communication and leadership skills. ELP is currently accepting applications for its 2009 Classes. The Delaware Valley Network deadline is Monday, October 16th, 2008.
