\n

\u201cWe will miss Aradhna\u2019s passion, creativity, and extensive reach into the region\u2019s leadership ranks as she has long advocated for developing and connecting a diverse set of region\u2019s leaders over the past two decades. We are grateful for her tenacity and tenure that helped to create the highest professional standards for preparing leadership talent for the marketplace and for our community. We wish her the very best – our loss is San Diego\u2019s gain.\u201d said Mr. Zanic. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Outgoing President and CEO, Aradhna Oliphant, commented, \u201cIt was always my hope that when I leave this beloved and key community leadership organization, someone with high integrity, love for the region, and knowledge of public policy and market trends can take the helm to work with our wonderful board and staff to continue growing the impact of LPInc. I am so delighted that, not only does Jenn Beer represent all of these attributes, she is also an alumna of LPInc.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

At Leadership Pittsburgh Inc., she hopes to execute on the growth plans in place to further extend the reach of the organization. \u201cWith over three thousand graduates, LPInc.\u2019s unique network of informed civic leaders makes a material and critical difference across organizations and sectors,\u201d Jenn said. \u201cI have a deep appreciation for Aradhna, the programs and graduates of LPInc. programs, the Pittsburgh region and its people.
