His legislative agenda focused on commonsense political reform and putting progress ahead of partisanship. Through his unprecedented strategic investments, he energized Pennsylvania’s economy and revitalized communities. During his tenure, Rendell would partner up with then president and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, Charlie Pizzi to unite a coalition of committed Philadelphians who shared their passion for accelerating the city’s success.

 

In this episode, Governor Rendell and Charlie share their invaluable learnings on the lessons they learned along the way as they lead Philadelphia through times of hardship. Both leaders also share insights on the ways in which we can apply the lessons they learned along to the way to revitalize Philadelphia. Through leadership, collaboration and innovation, leaders from all sectors can come together to continue to make Philadelphia a great place for decades to come.
