PHILADELPHIA, Pa. ​– The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia recently named Steven Bradley and Jeffrey Nash to its board of directors. This addition brings business, regional port authority, legal and governmental expertise to the WTCGP’s leadership ranks.

“We are delighted and fortunate to have added Steven and Jeff to the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia’s board,” noted WTCGP board chairman and White and Williams partner Gary Biehn.  “They bring diverse and deeply impressive backgrounds to their work with us, which undoubtedly will help promote WTCGP’s important efforts to build and grow trade – and jobs – in this region.”

“Jeff and Steven join us at a pivotal moment, as exports have grown into key U.S. economic drivers,” said WTCGP President Linda Conlin. “WTCGP will benefit enormously from the respective knowledge of this area’s business community Jeff and Steven bring as board members. Their important connections, particularly in the South Jersey community and among minority-led organizations and businesses, will enable us to expand recognition of WTCGP’s programs available to the region’s businesses, regardless of size, thereby increasing the impact we can have in driving economic growth and job creation in our communities.”
