Brown, who joined PNC (NYSE: PNC) in 2019 as chief change and risk officer for AMG and Corporate & Institutional Banking, will be responsible for leading PNC’s wealth management and private banking services for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net worth individuals and families, as well as custom investment and advisory solutions for institutional clients. She succeeds Michael Lyons, who was instrumental in recruiting Brown to PNC. Lyons, also a member of PNC’s executive committee, will continue to lead PNC’s C&IB group.

The resource out of the tourism marketing organization features two databases, one for work opportunities at nearby hotels and the other specifically for restaurants. The page will soon expand to include jobs at museums and tourist attractions, creating a comprehensive guide for those looking for employment in the industry and streamlining the application process.
The tool comes after Philadelphia lost 44,000 leisure and hospitality jobs between February and April as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, noted Jeff Guaracino, CEO of Visit Philly.

To tears from his parishioners, a man of the cloth and for the people of Camden is retiring — at 85
by Valerie Russ,
Msgr. Michael J. Doyle (the Irish Chamber’s 2016 Uachtarán Award honoree) came to Sacred Heart Church in Camden in 1974 and saw a city ravaged by poverty and white flight.
Many of the church’s white parishioners had fled to Pennsauken, or Cherry Hill, or other South Jersey suburbs.
As a result, both the church and Sacred Heart School struggled to stay afloat. About 80% of the school’s current students are not Catholic.
But poverty did not scare Father Michael, as his congregation calls him. He was born in Ireland on a farm, the second of five children.
