Congratulations #AICUP President Tom Foley, recognized by City & State PA for his outstanding career and #leadership. Other honorees include Former #Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter, #PA State Representative Dan Frankel rep, law enforcement leader Maureen Rush, M.S., CPP, Senate President Pro Tempore?Kim Ward, and Mike Long, a leader in PA’s public affairs. Today, City & State is hosting an event recognizing honorees that will be headlined by Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Joanna McClinton. ?? From City & State PA: “The universe is not made of atoms, but stories,” Tom Foley told the Harcum College graduating class in his 2024 commencement speech. Indeed, Foley believes that his gift for storytelling – paired with a strong work ethic – is at the heart of his success. That way with words propelled his career as a chief speechwriter for a future U.S. president, as Pennsylvania’s youngest-ever secretary of the Department of Labor and Industry, as a Pennsylvania college president and as leader of the commonwealth’s two largest volunteer-run nonprofits (United Way and Red Cross). Foley knew words transcended mere metaphor when he served as a front-line peace worker in Northern Ireland during the worst of the Troubles. Today, as president of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania, he represents 85 independent nonprofit schools that educate roughly half of the state’s low-income and minority students. “I understand in a personal way the transformative power of education,” reflects Foley, a first-generation college graduate from a family of 12 children. “Everyone has their story, no matter where they stand on the political spectrum – and taking the time to listen to, understand and respect their story is the best route to getting things done.” ??
