ON THE COVER The York Water Company was founded in 1816 and is the oldest investor-owned utility in the nation.

“That good York Water” is headquartered on East Market Street in Downtown York, at the former site of the home of Samuel Small. When designed, architect William B. Billmeyer incorporated elements related to the “gift of water.” The iconic, incredible, ceiling was painted and decorated by artist Gustav Ketterer. The company has been open and accessible to customers and the community throughout the pandemic. A special thanks to JT Hand, President and CEO, and Natalee Colón, Vice President – Human Relations for their gracious hospitality!

Unprecedented.

(I know, I’m tired of hearing it, too) For the past year, we keep hearing that this life we are living is “unprecedented.” As much as I’m tired of hearing that word, it’s the most accurate for the history we’re making each day. But while it may seem overused in terms of surviving a health and economic pandemic, it’s actually quite underutilized when referring to women making history, and blazing a trail for others and future generations.

This March YoCo Connect is dedicated to women who are leaders influencing change, innovating, inspiring, and aspiring to make tomorrow better than yesterday. They have taken it upon themselves to create a more just and livable future, and are inspiring many others whether they are aware of that or not.

First Lady of Pennsylvania Frances Wolf is capturing history by calling on Pennsylvanians to submit photographs that help share their COVID-19 story. History will be told by those who are living it – and whether a professional artist, or anyone with a smart phone, these photographs are capturing survival, resilience, empathy, and recovery. First Lady Wolf is taking an unprecedented approach to healing, and unity, by asking others to share one common lens.

Grace Quartey is helping small businesses maintain financial stability in a time unlike no other. Her care and concern for others extends across the globe, with her non-profit Building Solid Foundations, focusing on medicine, education, and economic development in Ghana.

Her benevolent mission is helping people pursue their passion, developing each person’s potential.

Judge Maria Musti Cook shattered York County’s judicial glass ceiling when she was recently named the first female President Judge. She has dedicated her career to fostering change in the judicial system. As judge, she has provided new support systems to those battling substance abuse, or coping with mental health struggles, to help provide alternate pathways than simply the prison system.

Dr. Monea Abdul-Majeed has made mindfulness her mission and is teaching others how to do the same. She is leading change through antiracism and equity education to facilitate deeper, more meaningful growth and evolution. She is changing the narrative and helping others in the expansive journey of life to be aware, empathetic, and inclusive to all. An unprecedented approach to make lasting systemic change.

These women are making history. They are being the change that they wish to see in our world. Over the course of this past year the word “unprecedented” easily cemented itself into the lexicon of our daily use. While readily used, don’t overlook its meaning, ‘having never been done or known before.’ Together, these women, joined by so many others, are doing things that are without any precedent.

Cheers to a healthier and happier 2021!

FIRST LADY FRANCES WOLF helps tell Pennsylvania’s story through One Lens: Sharing Our Common Views

BY KATIE MAHONEY VICE PRESIDENT, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

Together, as a community, a state, a country, a world, we are making history, and have been, for the past 12+ months. Pennsylvania’s First Lady Frances Wolf has launched a plan to capture that history, through the stories of those living it every single day. One Lens: Sharing Our Common Views is a statewide virtual photo exhibit to document the story of Pennsylvania throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I think we’re going to see a lot of connections, and a lot of things we have in common all across the state,” she shares. “When we look at the history books of the 1918 pandemic, and other occurrences, the photos are what tell the story.

We have the chance now to tell the story ourselves of this piece of history.”

As a professional artist, the First Lady, [“Please, call me Frances,” she adds,] knows the impact art and photography can have to inspire, to heal, to connect. “We don’t need professional photos, we want every citizen of Pennsylvania to take a look back at what they captured over the past year, and submit. We’re going to see connections.

We’re going to see that we are not alone in this.

It’s very easy to feel isolated these days, but learning that your experience is similar to someone else’s brings a sense of healing.”

Frances is no stranger to the isolation felt by most these days. “We’ve done our zoom dinners with friends,” she shares. “This pandemic has taught us that although we can’t physically be together, the people you care about, and who care about you, are still there. We can still connect. We’ve had to get creative in how we do so, but we still do it.”

One Lens encompasses three themes: Our Heroes, paying homage to the pandemic heroes who cannot stay home; Our Lives, looking at how we spend our time when no one is watching; and Our Communities, showcasing Pennsylvanians uniting in the face of a global health crisis In preparation of the exhibit, five ambassadors were selected to represent regions of the state.

For Central PA, WGAL TV reporter Porcha Johnson was chosen. “The ambassadors have been incredible,” shares Frances. “They’ve really picked this up and run with it, pushing it out through all their networks and social media.

They’ve been very enthusiastic.” Porcha is also the founder of Black Girl Health, designed to help minority women and girls live a healthier lifestyle through its online services. “She is very passionate and dedicated to Black Girl Health.

We’re honored she is also passionate about One Lens, and encouraging residents to share their stories.” Residing in York County, Frances adds “By asking Porcha to bring her passion to leading the Central PA region as an ambassador, we hope to see a lot of submissions from York.”

At the end of the interview, Frances encourages me to submit. I laugh, and say “I don’t think you want a photo of me in sweatpants surrounded by UPS packages.”

She’s prompt to respond “that’s exactly what we want!”

Q

We’re celebrating Women’s History Month in this issue.

Who inspires you?

My mother. She instilled in us the value and importance of education. She studied and became a nurse, in New York City. At a very early age, she and my father put an emphasis on education, especially the sciences.

When I graduated college, my grandfather in Italy sent me a beautiful letter sharing how proud he was and of the accomplishment this was to our whole family.

How to experience One Lens: Sharing Our Common Views The photo submission period closed Monday, March 8, 2021. The full exhibit will be released on Friday, March 19, 2021.

GRACE QUARTEY finds creative ways to connect people, and ideas

BY JJ SHEFFER DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Grace Quartey brings people together.

In her practice as an accountant, her role as the newly-elected treasurer of YCEA’s board of directors, and as the founder of a nonprofit, she is always looking for ways to connect people and ideas.

Quartey, who grew up in Ghana before relocating to Baltimore County and eventually to York, loves her work as a CPA. Her clients are also friends, and she finds joy in helping people resolve issues and maintain compliance.

When COVID hit and many of her small business clients needed assistance, they didn’t qualify for the initial rounds of federal assistance programs. Then the County of York, in partnership with YCEA and Community First Fund, administered CARES Act funding through the YoCo Strong Restart Fund grant program, and Grace quickly spread the word to her client base.

“And amazingly,” she says, “all of them got something. It was nice that finally I was able to send them somewhere that they got help.”

She also devotes time and energy to Building Solid Foundations, a nonprofit organization she founded after a 2002 visit to Apam, the village in Ghana where her father was born and where Quartey went to boarding school. When she visited and saw that the town had not progressed since she left at 19 years old, she and her husband felt compelled to help.

“It’s not easy going with others, because everybody has their own agenda, everybody has their own mission.

But the hardest thing is what bears the sweetest fruit.”

The organization does service-based mission trips with a focus on medicine, education, and economic development. They take supplies, equipment, and about 20-25 people from York at a time to spend two weeks in Ghana.

Surgeons do 150-170 surgeries during the stay, and other professionals do project-specific work, such as the time they took a group of refrigeration engineers to develop cold storage for the small fishing village.

Quartey applies this same spirit of collaboration in her day-to-day work and her volunteer work in the York community. She firmly believes that to have a real impact, it’s critical to avoid silos and combine resources and expertise.

“There’s this African proverb that says, if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go with others,” she says. “It’s not easy going with others, because everybody has their own agenda, everybody has their own mission. But the hardest thing is what bears the sweetest fruit. We have to find ways of working together.

That’s what I hope. And I’m working on it.”

PRESIDENT JUDGE MARIA MUSTI COOK is no stranger to shattering glass ceilings

BY KATIE MAHONEY VICE PRESIDENT, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

In January, Judge Maria Musti Cook became the first female President Judge in York County, but it’s not her first-time blazing trails, and shattering ceilings. Twenty-five years ago, she was the first female president for the York County Bar Association, and when she entered private practice, she was the first woman hired in her firm, and the first woman to make partner.

When asked how it feels, she laughs lightly and says “it feels good!” She is only the third woman elected to the bench, and with PJ elections only every five years, she knew eventually the time would come. “I’m happy that ceiling is broken, and that the opportunity will exist in the future,” she shares.

The journey to today hasn’t been easy, but it came naturally. “When I came out of law school, I graduated in a class that was 40% women, it gave me a false sense that everything is really good out there. Then I came back to my hometown and there were only 15 women out of 250 lawyers practicing,” she explains. “Things they told you in law school that you wouldn’t see anymore, you did. Like people asking when you plan to start your family. I would think ‘is this a test? Is this candid camera?’ It was still the good old boys’ network.”

Her ability to persevere and keep pushing came from the mentors around her, and those who continued to push her out of her comfort zone.

“I didn’t make judge the first try, I made it the second. You have to be in the right spot at the right time.

You get pushed along and motivated by other people who believe you can do things, then you believe you can do them, and you do them.”

Great role models, and mentors, are the key to finding the right journey. Judge Musti Cook attributes her steps forward to her professors at York College of Pennsylvania who encouraged her not to stop with her bachelor’s degree – namely Dr. Tom Lepson.

Attorney Bob Katherman, and Judge John Miller have also been great inspirations to Judge Musti Cook. “Judge Miller was wonderful to work for, and being a law clerk for him really did put the idea in my mind of running for judge at one point. I got the insider view. I wasn’t very politically motivated, so I couldn’t envision that for myself, but when the time came, I gave it serious thought.” Judge John C. Uhler, Judge Richard Renn, and Judge Penny Blackwell are also, as she puts it, “good people to vent to, and seek advice from.”

When asked her goals as President Judge, she’s honest in saying, “I’m not out to change the world. I want to get us through COVID, in the next 6-9 months, which is not a quick and easy recovery.”

There are two programs she is focused on – the Stepping Up Initiative, to keep people out of prison who are primarily there due to serious mental health issues, and the CARD project, established by Judge Craig Trebilcock to help individuals battling substance abuse get the help they need, and stay out of trouble.

Q Any advice to others reading this issue, and their path to their own greatness?

Number 1 is find some good mentors.

Number 2 is keeping moving forward.

And Number 3 is look beyond what you’re comfortable with. You have to get out of your comfort zone (but do your research before making those jumps).

“If we’re talking about antiracism, which is shifting power, we have to start where power lies in organizations, and that’s with leadership.

DR. MONEA ABDUL-MAJEED is leading real change for welcoming workplaces

BY JJ SHEFFER DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

One-off diversity training workshops can start a conversation, but they won’t lead to real change within an organization.

and to also recognize that it will take consistent, intentional effort over at least three years to begin to see a real shift in organizational culture.

“If we’re talking about antiracism, which is shifting power, we have to start where power lies in organizations, and that’s with leadership,” says Dr. Monea Abdul-Majeed. She noticed in her conversations while consulting in York that there was a real need for antiracist leadership training. She tested the market by hosting a free webinar – with no paid advertising – and 300 people signed up. Since then, she has launched an online school with antiracism courses for community leaders.

Her antiracism courses facilitate deeper, more meaningful change by helping individual participants grow, then take what they’ve learned back to their organizations.

Dr. Monea knew from the time she was a small child that she wanted to be an activist and an educator. She has indeed played both roles throughout her life, and has remained steadfast in her commitment to them as they’ve grown and evolved.

Dr. Monea, who has a PhD in Sociology with a concentration in Social Inequality and Urban Sociology, has had her own consulting business since 2016, and as of January 1, it’s her full-time focus. “I’m always changing and growing as a business owner,” she says, “but in terms of the actual work that I do, this just feels like an extension of me, and the best way to use my gifts and talents to serve others.”

She helps organizations understand that it’s important to begin with small changes, to identify things they can do immediately to make employees feel more welcome and safe;

“Antiracism, by its very definition, is just changing policies and procedures to make them more equitable,” Abdul-Majeed says. “But the authentic way is when people not just intellectualize it, but it moves from their head to their hearts. And that’s what the course really works on. So it is not tokenism, it’s not just to get a grant, it’s not just to save face, but it’s really because people care.”

Dr. Monea’s suggestion for where to start: The Scene On Radio podcast, Seeing White sceneonradio.org/ seeing-white/ More info about the course can be found at drmoneallc.com.

F INANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES YoCo Bloom & YoCo Strong Restart Fund Last November, the YCEA announced the first ever YoCo Bloom: Start Up Edition, to award up to $2,500 to small businesses that have launched within the past 18 months and have not received funding from prior YoCo Bloom, Downtown Bloom, or COVID 19 funding programs.

Thirty-nine applications were received for this round of funding, with 32 eligible for funding based on the criteria. Our team narrowed that down to 14 to invite to a pitch competition. All finalists participated in a “How to Prepare Your Pitch” prep session with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, Susquehanna SCORE, and MANTEC. A total of $20,000 was awarded, with 50% of the awards granted to businesses owned by persons of color, and 75% of all of the businesses supported were women-owned businesses.

Here are three of their stories...

Izzy’s Cupcakes, owned by Iscarelys Espinal and located in Downtown York, has a mission to bring the community together by offering a space and atmosphere in which you can enjoy sweets along with Prince St. Cafés yummy coffee/teas. With her Bloom Grant, Izzy was able to develop her own, unique website.

To do so, she chose to work with the local York City media firm, DesignBots.

“I would highly recommend the YCEA to any entrepreneurs, new business owners, etc. The YCEA goes above and beyond in order to support individuals that are working hard towards their dreams in York County!

Through this website I will be able to cater to customers safely and individually through these troubled times.

My other business goal is to be able to network with other professionals so I can expand and learn more business strategies. I also want to continue on rising my business and get my own store front.”

16 • YoCo CONNECT | SPRING 2021 • YoCo Bloom & YoCo Strong Restart Fund

The Shadow Box Frame Shop, owned by Christine Frey and located in East York, offers custom picture framing and local, domestic and fair-trade gifts, with a focus on preservation and display of artwork, documents, and memorabilia. The Bloom Grant is helping provide a safety net for Christine as she navigates the recovery of the pandemic.

“At some point, I’ll pay myself a livable wage and hire a helper. In the meantime, package pricing and budget options and online selling are my next goals.”

When asked any advice for other businesses, she shares “Hang in there, the hard times and speed bumps are part of the journey. Ask for help, plan for the worst, enjoy the small victories and milestones!”

Monet's Comfort Foods, owned by Stephanie Michelle Parkeris a true family-run business, providing affordable, homemade comfort food to the community, currently in Downtown York’s Central Market. She was able to use the funds to buy more supply at a discounted rate, and hire an additional person to help with the Saturday rush. Stephanie’s business is already outgrowing her current stand, and she will be moving into a new stand in the next few months.

“Anyone starting a business should prepare for the hard times mentally and physically. It's so easy to quit when things get hard. Keep positive people in your life and always remember why you wanted to start your business. The hard times will come and go but the GOOD will always outweigh the bad. I would definitely recommend YCEA to other businesses. YCEA is very helpful to new and small businesses within York county.”

“Thank you for your work on the YoCo Strong grant. The funds I received will help my business! I wouldn’t have applied if it weren’t for you.”

- Alexandria Hammond, My Girlfriend’s Wardrobe

The Bloom Grant Program was created in 2018 by a class of summer interns to offer unique funding opportunities through this small business grant program. Grant rounds have been hosted for women-owned businesses, Downtown York specific businesses, graduates of the YCEA’s small business development program, and YCEA member businesses throughout York County. In its first year, the Downtown Bloom Grant awarded a total of $15,000 for qualified projects. To date, Bloom has awarded over $165,000 to 55 small businesses, of which over 50% were owned by persons of color, and over 65% were women owned or led.

ADDITIO N A L S U P PO RT

In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the YCEA, in partnership with Community First Fund, was designated by the York County Commissioners to administer the YoCo Strong Restart Fund.

These funds were allocated by the CARES Act, with nearly $16.5 million awarded to small businesses and non-profits across York County. Of the 955 total recipients, 855 small businesses received $14,776,489.00 and 100 non-profits received $1,698,200.00. Of those, 44% of the recipients were women.

V O TER S W I L L DECI DE T HE FUT URE O F EMERGENCY DECLARAT IONS On May 18, 2021, voters will head to the polls to participate in the primary election. In addition to offices on the ballot, voters will be asked to decide on a constitutional amendment regarding emergency declaration powers.

What will the ballot measure do?

The ballot measure would add a new section to the Pennsylvania Constitution adding a 21-day limit on disaster emergencies, including public health, natural disasters, and other types of emergencies.

Supporters of the measure state that the approval by voters will ensure the legislature has a say in the handlings of emergency declarations and can act as a more equal branch of state government.

Opposition against the measure raise concern that its passage would hinder the response time by the state, create delays in access to services, and could create unnecessary repetition.

Understanding how answers will factor into the ballot measure

yes no

A "yes" vote supports this constitutional amendment to limit a current and future PA governor’s emergency declaration to 21 days unless the legislature votes on a concurrent resolution to extend the order and directs the legislature to pass laws related to how disaster emergencies must be managed.

A "no" vote opposes this constitutional amendment, meaning current and future PA Governors would be allowed to issue emergency declarations without a legislative vote after 21 days.

*Disclaimer: At the time of the writing of this article there were two additional constitutional amendments aimed to make it on the primary election ballot. YCEA will provide further education on the election process through the YoCo Voter Guide.
