Hometown: Upper Darby, PA 
Position: Chairman
Company: Bywood Community Association 
Length of time you have been with your company: 4 years 

Briefly describe your journey, noting both personal milestones and obstacles you may have faced along the way.
My journey began in high school when I became interested in African American history.  This led into a lifelong attempt to understand racism and its effects on society both black and white. Many of my obstacles have been too painful to talk about but all have been life changing.

Leadership Delaware County ' 20
Name: Matt Meyers 
Hometown: Jenkintown, PA (Yes.... from the Goldbergs) 
Position: Vice President of Administration 
Company: Pennsylvania Institute of Technology 
Length of time you have been with your company: 11 Years

Briefly describe your journey, noting both personal milestones and obstacles you may have faced along the way.
​
I arrived at P.I.T. in 2008, having just been laid off due to the closure of a for-profit school where I served for three years as Associate Director of Admissions.  Intrigued by the prospect of working in non-profit higher education, I took a step back and accepted a position at P.I.T. as an Admissions Representative.  Since starting at P.I.T., I became a father (of two intelligent and caring little girls), much of my hair have either turned grey or am loose, and have experienced the disappointing closure.  Through it all though, I have continued to seek the types of challenges that I hope will propel me forward, both personally and professionally.

Leadership Delaware County '20 

Name
: Alex Christy 
Hometown: West Chester, PA
Position: Constituent Relations 
Company: Pennsylvania State Senate, Office of Senator Tim Kearney 
Length of time you have been with your company: 10 months 

Briefly describe your journey, noting both personal milestones and obstacles you may have faced along the way.
My journey is typical—went to college, graduated, worked, didn’t know what I wanted to do, went back to college, graduated, worked, still don’t know what I want to do. Maybe I should go back to college? I have taught, worked for big companies, non-profits, and government. I am proud of a lot of things at all of those stops. The thing I am most proud of is the friendships and all the couches I can sleep on if I am ever passing through.  Those are the people that have supported me and I them. I know their kids, which, by the way, is helpful of you ever need someone to feed your cat when you’re away.  I have been in their weddings, slept in the woods with them, and we have shared endless meals. They are part of my journey as much as I am theirs.  And I think that is what I am most proud of.
