Jeffrey Emanuel

Director

Jeff joined The Foundation in August of 2017.  His diverse background as a Manager, Data Analyst, and Quality Analyst for organizations like Geisinger Health System, AASHTO, and Lockheed Martin provides a unique industry perspective.  This coupled with his kids-first approach to life as a stay-at-home dad prior to his two children starting school, has made him appreciate the challenges of our area students, and how our local industries can partner with educators to ensure their future success.  Jeff is a US Chamber of Commerce Education and Workforce Policy and Program Fellow and has a B.S. in Geo-Environmental Engineering from Penn State University, an M.B.A. from the University of Phoenix and Certificates of Progressive and Executive Leadership from Cornell University.
