In honor of Women’s History Month, we are highlighting inspirational leaders who help to make York County a place where everyone is given the opportunity to thrive.
We can’t talk about Women’s History Month without giving a shout-out to York County Community Foundation’s President & CEO, Jane Conover.
Jane joined the Community Foundation in March 2010 as Vice President of Community Investment, later becoming Senior Vice President and COO in 2014 and promoted to President and CEO in 2015.
Prior to joining the Foundation, Jane was Chief Community Officer at the YWCA of York, where she played a key role in revitalizing the Old Towne East neighborhood and the merger with ACCESS-York and Victim Assistance Center. Prior to working in York, Jane was Housing Director at Citizens Planning and Housing Association in Baltimore, MD. She also spent time as a caseworker and housing counselor for a variety of agencies in Baltimore and Erie, PA.
Jane holds a Masters in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and a Bachelors in Finance from Fairfield University in Connecticut.
Jane serves on the Board of Directors of WITF, and the Advisory Boards of York College’s Center for Community Engagement and Graham School of Business. She is a member of the Rotary Club of York. She was a 2007 York Federal Fellow through the Community Foundation, and she represented the YWCA of York at the 2007 World YWCA Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Jane lives in Springettsbury Township with her husband Steve and enjoys gardening and scooter-riding.
Thank you, Jane, for being our fearless leader and an inspiration for women and girls!
