Tonight we have the distinct honor of having the outgoing Mayor of Trappe, Connie Peck speak to us about the many awards, events, and happenstances that befell her during her 12 year term.
Connie has performed almost 30 marriages that include Gene and Denae Zvarick's, organized Trappe Community Day, has given scholarships to Perkiomen Valley school students, gave recognition at countless Eagle Scout ceremonies, been a member of Community Club of Collegeville, and Trappe 300 Anniversary steering committee, presided over and served on the Memorial Day parade and its committee, and has won an armload of awards for her community service from most groups in town to include Collegeville Rotary as a past Citizen of the Year. That award was presented to her by Senator John Rafferty.
In 2017, she was given the prestigious Speaker's Choice award from the Speaker's House. She has been recognized for teaching CCD at St. Eleanor Church, served as a Board member of Pope John Paul II High School, and was elected to United Way of Collegeville. Peck has also received other awards for her service, including the Montgomery County Women of Vision Award in 1996, North Montco Area Vocational Technical School Leadership Award and Perkiomen Valley Chamber of Commerce Chairman’s Award in 2001.
The list of Connie's accomplishments is endless, too numerous to mention tonight. Therefore without further ado, we are pleased to welcome the Honorable Former Mayor of Trappe Connie Peck!

Robotics in Industry
Jan. 24, 2018
Dr. Lee Shorter is Director, Disruptive Technology Seekers, Platform Technology and Science at GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals (GSK). In his position, Dr. Shorter seeks disruptive technologies and emerging sciences from academics, biotechs, engineering and designing firms, large established technology-based companies and other innovation centers, particularly from outside the Pharma space. Dr. Shorter is responsible for developing programs with external organizations to simplify chemical and pharmaceutical processes of dosage form development and manufacture. Prior to joining GSK Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Shorter was a Director in the Open Innovation Team at GSK Consumer Healthcare. Dr. Shorter was an American Heart Association Fellow. He obtained his BS degree in Chemistry from Washington College in Maryland and his Ph. D. in Biolnorganic Chemistry from the University of Maryland. The rate of change in business continues to accelerate. The fact is no business, by itself, can keep up. That is why companies like GlaxoSmithKline form partnerships with suppliers, customers, universi-ties, and consultants. Dr. Shorter is at the forefront of understanding the technology needs in the pharmaceutical industry. And, he is finding that many of those needs are coming from outside his own industry. For example, did you know that printer inkjet technology (think Hewlett-Packard) is now being used to make 3 dimensional objects like synthetic human organs for transplanting and silk pants for ladies? Come and listen to Dr. Shorter and he will give you a look into the future. As a future business leader, you need to hear and experience the idea of disruptive technology and how it will impact your future! Additional Information: |
