Heather Eckels Ritchey
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. As you may have heard I am the new Project Coordinator for the Community Outreach Partnership Center.
I come to Penn State Altoona with a B.A. in Government and Public Service and a M.A. in History. After graduating from I.U.P. in 2001 I began my professional career as a Victim/Witness Advocate for the Blair County District Attorney’s office. While there I was able to acquire a working knowledge of Pennsylvania’s judicial system as well as practical experience providing direct services to victims of crime. Upon completion of my Master’s Degree I worked for a short time as the Executive Director of the YWCA of Altoona. In 2006 I participated in the Blair County Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Blair County program. As the director of public programming for the Railroaders Memorial Museum I negotiated and coordinated print, radio, television and billboard advertising campaigns.
I look forward to working with all of you in the future.
Sincerely,
Heather Eckels Ritchey
