Inauguration Keynote Speakers

The Honorable Ed Gainey

Mayor of Pittsburgh

Member of The DAIS, Platform Guest, and guest speaker at the Installation Ceremony

Mayor Ed Gainey grew up in East Liberty and saw firsthand the economic hardships many families face in our city. Raised by a single mother, he counted on the support of his extended family and community to build a pathway to high school and college. Inspired to do the same for others, Ed Gainey discovered in college that an effective government could be a powerful tool to fight injustice and uplift communities.

Dr. Jermaine Ford, Ed.D.

President of Florence-Darlington Technical College

Member of The DAIS, Platform Guest, and guest speaker at the Installation Ceremony

Dr. Jermaine Ford is a visionary leader with the ability to influence concepts and practices by employing both logical and theoretical approaches. He is a first-generation community college graduate, currently serving as President of Florence-Darlington Technical College (FDTC).
