Ed Rendell presents “Government, Non Profits, and the Eagles: Did we miss anything?” as part of the Wayne Art Center’s HomeGrown Lecture Series.

The former Mayor of Philadelphia and Governor of Pennsylvania continues to pursue many of the same issues he was passionate about while in office. Acting as a board member or consultant, Rendell has become a champion for progress in the area of alternative energy. In addition, no other issue has been or continues to be as important to Rendell as America’s dire need to rebuild and reinvest in its infrastructure.

Ed Rendell currently serves as the co-chairman of the Building America’s Future organization along with Michael Bloomberg and former U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. As an on-air political consultant for NBC and MSNBC, he has candidly shared his views on state and federal government in a refreshingly insightful way. Coupled with his enormous political knowledge Ed Rendell’s love of sports is well-known. An ardent Eagles fan, he is part of the panel on the Comcast Sportsnet show, Post Game Live.
