It’s board member Monday! Today we’re featuring board member, Tania Zech! Tania is the Chief Deputy Coroner at the York County Coroner's Office.

Q: What inspired you to join the Leadership York board? A: "After completing the LTP in 2021, I knew I wanted to be apart of the organization that was able to fuel in me the drive to give back to York County. While I work for the County of York, Leadership York gave me the tools and knowledge to help others understand the importance of giving back to the community. After serving on a Leadership York committee, I was asked to join the board and knew this was where my heart was in order to make a difference. The connections are endless and the experience is priceless.” Q: What is your favorite leadership quote? A: "Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better." - Bill Bradley Thank you for #leadingtheway, Tania! #LeadershipYork #MeetTheBoard #BoardOfDirectors #BestBoardEver

A: “I was fortunate enough to go through the Future Leaders of York (FLY) program when I was in high school. I've always admired the work LY does through FLY but also through all of the other programs. Being able to go through FLY shaped a lot about who I am today as a member of the York community, so it was my hope that by serving on the board I could make sure the next generation has access to the same amazing programs LY offers. .” Q: What is your favorite leadership quote? A: "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden Thank you for #leadingtheway, Adam! #LeadershipYork #MeetTheBoard #BoardOfDirectors #BestBoardEver
