PHILADELPHIA, PA — Philadelphia Works has expanded its board of directors with the appointment of three senior executives from the healthcare, nonprofit, and public sectors, a move that broadens the workforce development agency’s leadership as it works to align employer demand with labor force needs across the city.
The workforce development board said Kevin B. Mahoney, chief executive officer of the University of Pennsylvania Health System; Andrea R. Muhammad, vice president of NextGen Leadership at the Greater Philadelphia YMCA; and Camille A. Duchaussée, chief administrative officer for the City of Philadelphia, have been appointed to three-year terms running from March 2026 through March 2029.
The appointments bring expertise from three sectors that play significant roles in Philadelphia’s labor market: healthcare, youth development, and municipal government.
Mahoney oversees operations across the University of Pennsylvania Health System, one of the region’s largest healthcare employers. Muhammad leads youth leadership and workforce initiatives at the Greater Philadelphia YMCA, while Duchaussée manages administrative operations for the City of Philadelphia and has experience in labor relations and workforce policy.
Patrick Clancy, president and chief executive officer of Philadelphia Works, said the new directors’ backgrounds align with the organization’s workforce development mission.
“Their combined experience in health equity, youth workforce development, and public administration will strengthen our ability to deliver results for Philadelphia’s workers and employers,” Clancy said.
Philadelphia Works serves as Philadelphia’s workforce development board, coordinating programs designed to connect residents with employment and training opportunities while helping employers address hiring and workforce challenges.
The organization’s board, whose members are appointed by the mayor, includes representatives from business, labor, nonprofit organizations, and government. The board oversees strategic priorities and financial decisions aimed at expanding economic opportunity and supporting regional workforce growth.
